English
b) Always start drilling at low speed and
–
with the bit tip in contact with the work­
piece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to
bend if allowed to rotate freely without con­
tacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with
–
the bit and do not apply excessive pres­
sure. Bits can bend causing breakage or
loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
3.3 Further safety instructions
– Use appropriate detection devices to look
for any hidden supply lines or consult your
local utility company. If the insertion tool
makes contact with live cables, it can result
in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.

ment: Ear protection and safety goggles.
CAUTION! Power tool can jam and cause
sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!
– Hold the power tool firmly in your hand.
Make sure the speed is adjusted correctly
when screwdriving. Be prepared for a high
reaction torque, which may cause the pow­
er tool to turn and possibly lead to injury.
Do not use the power tool in the rain or in
–
damp surroundings. Moisture in the power
tool may cause a short circuit and fire.
– Do not lock the on/off switch in place per­
manently.
Do not use power supply units or third-
–
party battery packs to operate cordless
power tools. Do not use third-party charg­
ers to charge the battery packs. The use of
accessories not expressly authorised by the
manufacturer can result in electric shocks
and/or serious accidents.
3.4 Health hazard by dust
WARNING! various dust created by pow­
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can­
cer, 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
10
• arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depend­
ing on how often you do this type of work. To re­
duce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic par­
ticles. Wash hands after handling.
