d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained 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 instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suita-
ble 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 con-
nection 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 accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Drills and Screw-
driver
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fastener may con-
tact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and fas-
teners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes prop-
erty damage or may cause an electric shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately when
the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high
reaction torque that can cause kickback. The
tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reac-
tion torque can briefly occur while driving in and
loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materi-
als are particularly dangerous. Dust from light
alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over
the power tool.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, water, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide for
fresh air and seek medical help in case of
complaints. The vapours can irritate the respira-
tory system.
When the battery is defective, liquid can
escape and come into contact with adjacent
components. Check any parts concerned.
Clean such parts or replace them, if required.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your
BTI power tool. This measure alone protects the
battery against dangerous overload.
