for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used
with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fi re.
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 connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fi re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush 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 qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
screwdrivers and impact wrenches
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
• Wear ear protectors with impact wrenches.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Before driving fasteners into walls, fl oors or ceilings,
check for the location of wiring and pipes.
• This tool is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
• The intended use is described in this instruction
manual. The use of any accessory or attachment
or performance of any operation with this tool other
than those recommended in this instruction manual
may present a risk of personal injury and/or damage
to property.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the
technical data and the declaration of conformity have
been measured in accordance with a standard test
method provided by EN 60745 and may be used for
comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration
emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used. The
vibration level may increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation
of vibration exposure should consider, the actual
conditions of use and the way the tool is used, including
taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such
as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time.
Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:
