2.5.1. WORKPLACE SAFETY

a) Keep your working area clean and well-lighted.
A cluttered or poorly illuminated working area may result in accidents.

b)

Do not operate the tool in areas in which explosions can occur,

where ammable liquids, gases or dust are located. Power tools
produce sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.

.

c) Pay attention to environmental conditions.
Do not expose tools to rain.
Do not use tools in a damp or wet environment.

d) Keep children and other persons away when using the tool.

Distractions may cause you to lose control over the tool.

2.5.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a)

Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heaters,...

When your body is grounded, there is an increased risk of electrical

shock.

b) Keep the tool away from rain and humidity.
The penetration of water into a tool increases the risk of electrical

shock.

c) Keep the tool away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

2.5.3. PERSONAL SAFETY

a)

Always pay close attention and use caution when working with a

power tool.

Do not operate power tools when you are tired or under the inuence

of drugs, alcohol or medications.
Even one moment of carelessness when operating the tool can result
in serious injury.

b) Always wear personal protective gear and safety goggles.

Wearing personal protective gear appropriate to the type of tool and
the work being performed, such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes,
a safety helmet and ear protection, minimizes the risk of injury.

c) Avoid accidentally starting the tool.

Make sure that the tool is switched off before connecting it to the

battery, picking it up or carrying it. Carrying the tool with your nger on

the power switch or connecting to a power source when it is switched
on may result in accidents.

d) Maintain an ergonomic working posture.

Stand rmly and always maintain balance. By doing this, you can control

the tool better in unexpected situations.
e) Wear suitable clothing.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair
can get caught in moving parts.

2.5.4. USE AND CARE OF THE POWER TOOL

a)

Do not overload the tool.

Use the appropriate tool for your work. Using the correct tool allows you

to perform your work more efciently and safely.

b) Do not use a power tool that has a defective power switch.

Power tools that cannot be switched on and off are dangerous and
must be repaired.

c)

Remove the battery before changing tool settings, replacing accessory
parts or storing.

By doing this, you can prevent the tool from starting accidentally.

d)

Keep unused tools out of the reach of children.

Do not allow anyone to use the tool who is unfamiliar with it or has
not read this document. Power tools are hazardous when used
by unexperienced persons.

e)

Maintain the tool carefully.

Make sure that moving parts are in good working condition and
do not jam, and check for broken or damaged parts that may impair
proper function. Ensure that any damaged parts are repaired before
using the tool. Poorly maintained power tools are responsible for
many accidents.

f) Keep tools clean.
Carefully maintained tools jam less frequently and are easier to
operate.

g) Follow these instructions when using the tool and accessories.
Take into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Using power tools for unintended purposes may be
hazardous.

h) Use the correct tool

Do not use tools with insufcient power to perform the task. Do not use

tools for purposes and work for which they are not intended.
i) Check your tool for damage

Before using the tool, check for damaged parts and ensure that safety
equipment is in good working order and functions as intended. Check
that moving parts are in working order and do not jam, that all parts are
properly mounted and none are broken, and that all conditions are
correct for operating the tool.

2.5.5. SERVICE

NOTICE

All repairs should be carried out by quali ed person-

nel, using only original replacement parts available from
HS-Technik GmbH.
Doing this will ensure that tool safety is maintained.

NOTICE

Please observe the following when handling the provided
Lithium Ion batteries.

2.6.0. LITHIUMIONEN BATTERY

a) Use only devices recommended by the manufacturer to charge the
batteries.

Using an improper charger may ruin the battery.
b) Use the correct batteries in the power tools.

Using other batteries may result in injury and re hazard.

c)

If the battery is not used for an extended period, it should not remain
in the charger or in the tool.

If it is expected that the riveting tool will remain unused for more than 3
hours, the battery must be removed. Failure to do so entails the risk of
permanent battery damage.

d)

For safety reasons, the lithium ion battery should not remain in an
active charging device for more than 36 hours.
After charging, remove the battery from the charger as soon as

possible.

e)

An empty battery should not remain in the tool or in an unpowered
charging device for an extended period of time.

In both cases, the residual current ow may completely discharge

and ruin the battery.

f)

If possible, recharge the lithium ion battery immediately after use and
do not store when empty.
If the battery is stored separately from the tool and the charger, it will

retain its charging capacity for a longer time.
(Maximum loss 5% per year)

g)

Always transport the battery separately from the tool whenever possible.

This ensures that the tool is not accidentally switched on, thus preventing
the battery from discharging.

h)

Do not expose the lithium ion battery to high temperatures
(120°F/50°C) or direct sunlight.
If the battery temperature exceeds 120°F/50°C during operation
(charging or discharging), it must be removed from the charger or
riveting/screwing tool immediately.
