Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
f)
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
4.1.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejec-
ted from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
4.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
4.2 Drill safety warnings
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Expos-
ure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
4.3 Safety instructions for screwdrivers
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the fastener may con-
tact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
4.4 Additional safety rules
4.4.1 Personal safety
a) Modification of the machine or tampering with its
parts is not permissible.
b) Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
c) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
d) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotat-
ing insert tools, may lead to injury.
e) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch
in the middle position) before storing or trans-
porting the power tool.
f)
The appliance is not intended for use by debilit-
ated persons who have received no special train-
ing. Keep the appliance out of reach of children.
g) Dust from materials, such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, concrete / masonry / stone con-
taining silica, and minerals as well as metal, may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other
diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds
of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and
beech dust, especially in conjunction with additives
for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative).
Material containing asbestos must only be treated by
specialists. Where the use of a dust-extraction
device is possible it shall be used. To achieve a
high level of dust collection, use a suitable dust
extractor. When indicated wear a respirator ap-
propriate for the type of dust generated. Ensure
that the workplace is well ventilated. Follow na-
tional requirements for the materials you want to
work with.
h) Before beginning the work, check the hazard clas-
sification of the dust that will be produced. Use
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially
approved protection classification in compliance
with locally applicable dust protection regula-
tions.
4.4.2 Careful use of the power tool
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to
secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c) Large and heavy insert tools must only be op-
erated in first gear. There is otherwise a risk that
the tool will be damaged when it is switched off or,
under unfavorable conditions, the chuck might be
detached.
4.4.3 Careful use of the cordless tool
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
