We, being solely responsible: Hereby declare that
these cordless drills/screwdrivers and impact drills,
identified by type and serial number *1), meet all
relevant requirements of directives *2) and
standards *3). Technical documents for *4) - see
page 3.

2. Specified Use

The drills and impact drills are suitable for drilling in
metal, wood, plastic and similar materials, and also
for screw driving and thread tapping.
The impact drills are also suited for drilling in
masonry, brickwork and stone.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.

3. General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your electrical tool only together with these
documents.

4. Special Safety Instructions

Wear ear protectors with impact drills
(machines with the designation SB). Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. A cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
check using a metal detector).
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and
comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with
clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch contacts or short-circuit battery packs!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at a standstill.
Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation
(e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
LED lights (2): Do not observe the LED radiation
directly with optical instruments.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
