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

damaged or modified. Damaged or modi­
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be­
haviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire

a.
fied repair person using only identical re­
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

2.2 Machine-specific safety notices
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
–
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control
–
can cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
–
surfaces, when performing an operation
16
where the cutting accessory or fasteners
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting acces­
sory contacting a "live" wire may make ex­
posed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric
shock.
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.
Keep the power tool away from magnetic
–
fields. The power tool may switch on unex­
pectedly and cause injury.

correctly when screwdriving. Be prepared
for a high reaction torque, which may
cause the power tool to turn and lead to in­
jury.
– 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.
– Wait until the power tool has come to a
complete halt before placing it down. The
insertion tool can get caught and lead to a
loss of control of the power tool.
