Special safety instructions.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fas-
teners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas
or water conduits. Check the working area
before commencing work, e.g. with a metal
detector.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
safety glasses must be capable of protecting
against flying particles generated by the vari-
ous operations. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause loss of hearing.
Secure the work piece firmly. A work piece
that is gripped tightly in a clamping device or
vice, is more secure than if held by hand.
Hold the power tool firmly. High reaction
torque can briefly occur.
Do not machine any material containing
asbestos. Asbestos is cancerogenic.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the power tool. If the insulation is
damaged, protection against an electric shock
will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the
power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is
not ensured merely because an accessory fits
your power tool.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power
tool at regular intervals using non-metal
tools. The blower of the motor draws dust
into the housing. An excessive accumulation
of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Never look or stare into the light of the power
tool's lamp from a short distance. Never point
the light of the lamp into the eyes of other
persons in close vicinity. The radiation pro-
duced by the lamp can be harmful for the eye.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
Use and handling of the battery
(battery pack)
To avoid hazardous situations such as burns,
fire, explosion, skin injuries, and other inju-
ries when handling the battery, observe the
following instructions:
Batteries must not be disassembled, opened
or reduced in size. Do not subject batteries to
mechanical impact or shock. Hazardous
vapours and fluid can escape in case of dam-
age and improper use of the battery. The
vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
skin irritations or burns.
When battery fluid from a damaged battery
has come into contact with objects close by,
check the respective components, clean them
or replace them as required.
Keep the battery away from heat and fire. Do
not store the battery in direct sunlight.
Do not remove the battery from its original
packaging until it is going to be used.
Before any work on the machine itself,
remove the battery from the power tool. If the
power tool accidentally starts, there is danger
of injury.
Remove the battery only when the power tool
is switched off.
Keep the battery away from children.
Keep the battery clean and protect it against
moisture and water. Clean contaminated bat-
tery terminals and power tool connections
with a dry, clean cloth.
Use only intact original FEIN batteries that are
intended for your power tool. When working
with and charging incorrect, damaged,
repaired or reconditioned batteries, imita-
tions or other brands, there is danger of fire
and/or explosion.
Follow the safety warnings in the operating
instructions of the battery charger.
