OPERATION OF THE DEVICE

Removing/inserting the battery
To remove, press the button on the battery and slide it out of the socket.
To insert the battery, align the battery contacts with the grooves in the socket and insert until the clamping button audibly engages.

Charging the battery
Battery charging should be carried out in conditions where the ambient temperature is between 4 – 40°C. A new battery, or one that has not been used for a long period of time, will reach full power capability after approximately 3 – 5 charge and discharge cycles

• Remove the battery from the device.

• Plug the charger into a 230 V AC mains socket. When switched on, a green LED will light up on the charger to indicate that the voltage is connected.

• When the battery is placed in the charger, a red LED will light up to indicate that the battery is being charged.

• Once the battery is charged, the LED on the charger will turn green

• The charger will not automatically switch off when the battery is fully
  charged. The green LED on the charger will remain on until the
  charger is disconnected from the power supply.

• The battery should not be charged for more than 8 hours. Exceeding this time may damage the battery cells. The charger will not switch off automatically when the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the power supply before removing the battery from the charger socket. Avoid consecutive short charges. Do not recharge the batteries after using the device for a short time. A significant decrease in the time between necessary charges indicates that the battery is worn out and should be replaced.

• During the charging process, the batteries will heat up. Do not undertake work immediately after charging – wait until the battery has reached room temperature. This will prevent damage to the battery.

Battery charge status indication
The battery is equipped with a charge status indication (3 LEDs). To check the charge status of the battery, press the battery charge status indicator button. When all LEDs are lit, the battery charge level is high. The lighting of 2 LEDs indicates partial discharge. The fact that only 1 diode is lit indicates that the battery is exhausted and needs to be recharged.

RATING DATA

Cordless impact spanner 58G028

NOISE AND VIBRATION DATA

Information on noise and vibration
The noise emission level of the equipment is described by: the emitted sound pressure level LpA and the sound power level LwA (where K denotes measurement uncertainty). The vibrations emitted by the equipment are described by the vibration acceleration value ah (where K is the measurement uncertainty).

The sound pressure level LpA, the sound power level LwA, and the vibration acceleration value ah given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with IEC 62841-1. The vibration level ah given can be used for comparison of equipment and for preliminary assessment of vibration exposure.

The vibration level quoted is only representative of the basic use of the unit. If the unit is used for other applications or with other work tools, the vibration level may change. Higher vibration levels will be influenced by insufficient or too infrequent maintenance of the unit. The reasons given above may result in increased vibration exposure during the entire working period.

In order to accurately estimate vibration exposure, it is necessary to take into account periods when the device is switched off or when it is switched on but not used for work. When all factors are accurately  estimated, the total vibration exposure may be significantly lower.

In order to protect the user from the effects of vibration, additional safety measures should be implemented, such as cyclical maintenance of the machine and working tools, securing an adequate hand temperature, and proper work organization.
