HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

5.2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR

BATTERY POWERED TOOLS &

CHARGERS

Good Working Practices/Safety

The following suggestions will enable you to observe

good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers

safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good

working order.

WARNING!! LEAKING BATTERY PACKS

The electrolyte in the battery packs is corrosive, if a

battery pack is damaged and leaking, avoid

contact with the skin; if contact is made, flush

the area with running water, pat dry and seek

medical attention and advice at the earliest

opportunity, inform the medical service that the

contaminant was a "high alkaline, corrosive liquid". If the

electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, flush with

copious amounts of water only, seek medical attention

immediately, relaying the information above.

WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE

REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

Battery Powered Tools

Workplace/Environment

Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in

work areas.

It is good practice to leave the tool and the battery pack

separated until work is about to commence; if this is not

practical do not carry tools around with fingers near the

trigger switch, and engage the stop-lock of the tool if one

is available. It is preferable to move small tools e.g. drills

and jigsaws to the work area in their carrying/storage

cases; if this is not possible it is advisable that you do not

mount the blades or drill bits into the tool until you reach

the work area (they make effective stabbing tools if you

trip or stumble).

If you are working from ladders or towers, ensure they are

securely fixed/braced, and always maintain a balanced,

comfortable working posture; do not over-reach, or

perform simian agility exercises to get the work done, the

extra time required to move the ladder or tower is a good

trade off against injuries sustained from a fall. Similarly

nonslip footwear and nonslip surfaces are a good

investment.

If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying

grit, dust, swarf or chips, wear the appropriate safety

clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc - if the work

operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear

ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style,

wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband,

will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up

in the rotating parts of the tool, likewise, consideration

should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches,

if these are liable to be a hazard.

Do not work with cutting tools of any description if you

are tired, your attention is wandering or you are being

subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost finger tip or

worse, is not worth it!

Do not use the tools within the designated safety areas of

flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be

volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised

tools for working in these areas, THESE ARE NOT THE

TOOLS FOR THESE AREAS.

Do not discard old batteries, or old cutting tools of any

description, into general rubbish; the cutting tools may

still be sharp enough to inflict an injury, and old batteries

if overheated or are part of rubbish that is to be disposed

of by burning, are an explosion hazard. Similarly, do not

dispose of old battery packs into clean water run-offs; if

they eventually leak, they will become a pollutant hazard.

Check that cutting tools are undamaged and are kept

clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating

performance and lessen the loading on the tool.

5.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

MAINS POWERED BATTERY

PACK CHARGERS

The charger is for INDOOR use only.

Prior to plugging the charger in to the supply, check

that the plug and the cable are in good repair. If

either are damaged, have the defective item replaced

immediately by a suitably qualified person. If the

casing of the battery charger is damaged, it is good

policy to have the charger checked over by a suitably

qualified person.

Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide

power, do not plug into site generators, attach to

engine generators or D.C. sources. Do not use a mains

socket outlet that is not switched.

Only use the charger that was supplied with the

battery pack, and vice versa.

Do not attempt to charge battery packs that are too

hot (over 40ºC) or too cold (under 5ºC); if these

conditions apply set the battery aside to "normalise"

before proceeding with the charging operation.

Set up the charger and cable in a safe place where it

won't be knocked, tripped over, stepped on, etc. and

where it is well ventilated; make sure the ventilation

slots in the charger case are not obstructed, plug the

charger into the socket outlet.

Inspect the battery pack for damage; if it is

undamaged, plug it into the charger, ensuring the

correct orientation. (Most chargers and batteries have

'keys' etc, to make sure the battery is not inserted

incorrectly, if you are having to 'force' the battery

into the charger, the chances are you have it the

wrong way round, check and try again.)

Switch the charger on and check that the correct

indicators illuminate, allow the battery pack to charge

(see the specific instructions for your charger). Once

charging is complete, switch the charger off, remove

the battery pack and store, repeat the procedure if

you have more than one battery to charge. Note that

some RAPID chargers require a "rest" period between

charges, read the instruction manual concerning your

specific charger to see if this is the case. After

charging is complete, unplug the charger from the

socket outlet by pulling on the plug. Do not pull on

the cable. Store the charger in a dry secure place.

If, when the charger was switched on, the correct

indications did not occur, leave for two or three

minutes to allow the charger to stabilise; if the correct

indications occur, allow the charging cycle to proceed

as normal. If no indication appears at all, switch off,

remove the battery pack, unplug the charger, check

that the charger contacts and the battery contacts are

clean and repeat the process; if there is still no

indication, switch off, remove the battery pack,

unplug the charger and check the fuse. If the fuse is

blown, replace and repeat the process; if the fuse

blows again, or if the fuse was intact, attempt no

further action. Refer the charger to a suitably

qualified person for assessment/repair.
