Caution must be exercised when driving screws
into hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break or a high reverse torque may build up on
the handle.
Work only with the additional handle correctly
installed.
Always hold the machine with both hands using
the handles provided, stand securely and
concentrate.
A damaged or cracked side handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a
defective side handle.
The thread for screwing in the additional handle
can become hot after long periods of operation.

If battery fluid from NiCd, NiMH or Li-ion battery
packs leaks out and comes into contact with the
skin, rinse the affected area thoroughly with

contact with your eyes, wash them with clean
water and seek medical treatment immediately!
