and only with original spare parts.
i) Do not use the battery charger on easily flammable surfaces
(e.g. paper, fabric, wood, etc.) or in flammable or explosive
environments. Prevent any fires due to overheating.
l) Charge the battery at room temperature between 10°C and
35°C. Lower or higher temperatures can damage the battery and
inhibit normal charging.
m) Unplug the battery charger when not in use. Do not leave
the battery charger switched on with the battery completely
charged. Prevent possible accidents.
n) It is normal for the battery charger and the battery to heat
up while being charged. however, both must be left to cool
down to room temperature between consecutive charging.
High temperatures can cause damage or explosion of the battery.
o) Replace batteries that have come to the end of their use
cycle. If the battery looses its charge very quickly and/or the
charging cycles are very short, it means that it is nearly dead
and therefore needs replacing.
p) Only replace it with original batteries, of the same type
and characteristics as the one supplied with the tool. The use
of batteries of different types and voltages can damage the tool
and cause danger. Only buy original spare parts.
q) Some batteries have auto reset thermal protection, which
prevents charging should the temperature be too high; in
this case the battery charger will emit a flashing red light.
Remove the battery from its housing for a few minutes before
putting it back in the battery charger. The charging will start
again automatically when the temperature has returned within
the safe range of values.
r) The power supply voltage of the battery charger must match
that indicated on the technical data nameplate. Do not use
any other type of power supply.
s) It is advisable to install a trip switch on the electrical power
supply line. Consult your electrician.
t) Do not damage or tread on the power supply cable. Do not
pull the battery charger by the cable. Do not pull the cable in
order to unplug it from the power supply.
u) Any extension cable must have a higher section than that
of the battery charger cable and correctly sized according
to its length.
v) If the power tool is blocked because the battery runs out,
do not continue to press the start button, otherwise the battery
fails hopelessly.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR NOISE AND VIBRA-
TIONS
The level of noise and vibrations shown on the attached sheet
are average values for the use of the electrical tool. The use of
different cutting elements, different materials, the use or not of
the percussion function and lack of maintenance on the electrical
tool significantly affect the sound emissions and vibrations. The-
refore, adopt all the preventive measures in order to eliminate any
possible damage due to loud noises and strain from vibrations;
wear ear phones, anti-vibration gloves, take breaks while working
and keep the electrical tool and accessories (bits, etc.) efficient.

REMAINING RISKS
These illustrations show the main risks involved with using the
machine. Read the machine instruction manual carefully.
SYMBOLS
Carefully observe the symbols in fig.B and memorise the re-
spective meaning. Correct interpretation of the symbols allows
safer use of the machine.

Electric and electronic waste may contain potentially
hazardous substances for the environment and human health.
High temperatures cause the
batteries to explode. Do not
expose them to direct sunlight,
do not leave them inside vehi-
cles and do not burn them.
Loud noise generated while
drilling. Use ear protection.
Risk of electrocution or explo-
sion due to drilling through
electric cable trays or piping
with pressurised fluids (water,
gas...).
Grip the 2 insulated hand grips
of the drill with both hands.
Use a detector for hidden
metal parts
.
Risk of electric shock and
danger of death. Do not touch
the electrically live parts and
keep a safe distance. Before
any maintenance operations,
unplug the machine from the
power supply.
