MEEC TOOLS 012589 18V Nibbler

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• The plug on the power tool must match the powerpoint. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmold ified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
  refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed. Do not expose power tools to rain or
  moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.

• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or to pull out the plug from the powerpoint. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor ruse. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.

• If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a mains connection protected by a residual current device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal safety equipment. Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before inserting the battery or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.

• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before switching on the power tool. Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control over the power tool in unexpected s ituations.
  Wear su itable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.

• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.

USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently starting the power tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are
• dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. 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 jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those they are intended to be used for.
• Charge the batteries only with the charger recommended by the manufacturer. The use of another charger can result in the risk of personal injury and fire.
• Only use batteries intended for the power tool. The use of other batteries can result in the risk of personal injury and fire.
• Do not allow batteries to come into contact with paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can result in short circuiting. Short circuiting the battery terminals can result in the risk of burn injuries or fire.
• Incorrect use can cause liquid to leak from the battery. Avoid touching this. Rinse with water after unintentional contact. Seek medical attention if you get battery fluid in your eyes. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burn injuries.

SERVICE

The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NIBBLER

Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where it may come into contact with concealed electrical cables or its own power cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the tool to also become live and give the user an electric shock.

REDUCTION OF NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

• Plan the work so that exposure to heavy vibrations is spread over a longer period.
• To reduce noise and vibrations when in use, limit the time the tool is in use, and use low-power/vibration mode and suitable safety equipment.
• Take the following precautions to minimise the risks of exposure to vibrations and/or noise:
  • Only use the tool in accordance with these instructions.
  • Check that the tool is in good condition.
  • Use accessories in good condition, and which are suitable for the purpose.
  • Keep a firm grip on the handles/grips.
  • Maintain and lubricate the tool in accordance with these instructions.

Symbols

The following symbols provide guidance for how to use your power tool. Make sure you understand the symbols and their significance.

• Read the instructions.
• Wear eye and ear protection.
• Wear safety gloves.
• CE Approved in accordance with the relevant EU directives.
• Recycle as electrical waste.

TECHNICAL DATA

Always wear ear protection.
The declared vibration value and noise, which have been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 60745-2-4:2009.

WARNING!
The actual vibration and noise level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).

ASSEMBLY

SUPPORT HANDLE

Fit the support handle in the threaded hole (M8) and screw in as far as it goes. The support handle can be fitted on the right or left side to suit all users.

HOW  TO USE

Hold the nibbler at right angles to the material to be cut. Move the nibbler slowly forward to cut straight or curved lines. When necessary drill a hole with a minimum 16 mm diameter to insert the cutter before cutting.
FIG. S

CUTTING THICKNESS

The thickness of the material that can be cut depends on the properties of the material. The cutter can be damaged if the material is so thick that it does not go in under the cutter. The maximum permitted thickness is 1.2 mm.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Always remove the battery from the nibbler before cleaning or other maintenance.

• Clean the tool with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents that can damage the plastic parts.
• Keep the ventilation openings on the tool clean.
