plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
ground ed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water en tering a power
tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers a way
while operating a power tool. Distrac tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified
* The text used in the General Safety Rules section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA 62841-
1 standard. This section contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply to these tools.

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
999-995-106.10_REV. A
RP 240/RP 241 Press Tools
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Al -
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch ON invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool ON. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does
not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for oper-
ations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery Tool Use And Care
• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
• When a 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 terminals to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
999-995-106.10_REV. A

RP 240/RP 241 Press Tools
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected 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 irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C)
may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a
qual i fied repair person using on ly identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
