RPC4 Cordless 4V Starter Kit

Important!
It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before assembling, maintaining and operating the product.
Subject to technical modification
Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your carver.

INTENDED USE

The carver is intended to be used only by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual, and can be considered responsible for their actions.
With appropriate accessories fi tted, the product is designed to perform sculpting, engraving and light chiseling on soft materials, such as poplar, pine, MDF, etc.
The product is intended for consumer use only.
Do not use the product for any other  purpose. Use of the product for operations diff erent from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
WARNING! Read all safety  warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

CARVER SAFETY WARNINGS

• This power tool is intended to function as a carving tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the  accessory can be attached to your
  power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately controlled.

• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
  As appropriate wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Use clamps to support workpiece  whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece
  allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.

• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Clamp workpiece with a clamping  device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
• Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
• Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C and 40°C.
• Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C.
• The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY

WARNINGS

• To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluidor allow a fluid to flow inside them.Corrosive or conductive fluids,such as seawater, certain industrialchemicals, and bleach or bleachcontaining products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
• Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°Cand 40°C.
• Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 20°C.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting batteries by a third party.
Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, nonconductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

MAINTENANCE

• The product should never be connected to a power supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product from the power supply will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
• When servicing, use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
• Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
• For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an authorised service centre.

SYMBOLS

Do not dispose of waste batteries, waste electrical and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste. Waste batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately. Waste batteries, waste accumulators, and light sources have to be removed from the equipment. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice and collection point. According to local regulations, retailers may have an obligation to take back waste batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment free of charge. Your contribution to the reuse and recycling of waste batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment helps to reduce the demand of raw materials. Waste batteries, in particular containing lithium, and waste electrical and electronic equipment contain valuable and recyclable materials, which can adversely impact the environment and the human health if not disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner. Delete personal data from waste equipment, if any.

WARNING
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may
significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
