Safety Notes

Read all safety warnings and all
WARNING
instructions, including the infor-
mation on the rear of the construction site radio.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "construction site radio" used in the safe-
ty notes refers to mains-powered construction site
radios (with power-supply plug) and to battery-op-
erated construction site radios (without power-sup-
ply plug).
 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
 The mains plug of the power-supply plug must
match the socket outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use adapter plugs together
with construction site radios. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock.
 Do not misuse the cord of the power-supply
plug to carry the construction site radio charg-
er, hang it up, or for pulling the plug out of the
outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or en-
tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
 Completely unwind the connection cable of
the power-supply plug when operating the
construction site radio via mains supply. Oth-
erwise the connection cable can heat up.
 Take care that the mains plug can be pulled at
any time. The mains plug is the only possibility
to disconnect the construction site radio from
the mains supply.
Protect the construction site radio from
rain and moisture. The penetration of
water into the construction site radio in-
creases the risk of electric shock.
 Keep the construction site radio and the pow-
er-supply plug clean. Contamination may result
in danger of electric shock.
 Check the construction site radio, power-sup-
ply plug, cable and plug each time before us-
ing. If damage is detected, do not use the con-
struction site radio. Never open the
construction site radio or the power-supply
plug yourself, and have repairs carried out on-
ly by a qualified repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts. Damaged construction
site radios, power-supply plugs, cables and
plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
 This construction site radio is not intended for
use by children and persons with physical,
sensory or mental limitations or a lack of expe-
rience or knowledge. This construction site
radio can be used by children aged 8 or older
24 | English
and by persons who have physical, sensory or
mental limitations or a lack of experience or
knowledge if a person responsible for their
safety supervises them or has instructed them
in the safe operation of the construction site
radio and they understand the associated dan-
gers. Otherwise, there is a danger of operating
errors and injuries.
 Supervise children during use, cleaning and
maintenance. This will ensure that children do
not play with the construction site radio.
 Cleaning and user maintenance of the con-
struction site radio shall not be made by chil-
dren without supervision.
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-cir-
cuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, water, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tions or burns.
 In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the
area and seek medical help in case of com-
plaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory
system.
 Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
 Only use the battery in conjunction with your
construction site radio and/or a BTI power
tool. This is the only way to protect the battery
against dangerous overload.
 The battery can be damaged by pointed ob-
jects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force
applied externally. An internal short circuit can
occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode
or overheat.
 Read and strictly observe the safety warnings
and working instructions in the operating in-
structions of the tools that you connect to the
construction site radio.
