Safety
General safety instructions for cordless power tools
Warning: Read all the instructions. Failure to comply with the following
instructions can lead to electric shock, fires and/or serious injury.
The term "power tool" in the warning text below refers to your handheld
mains operated or battery operated tool.
1) The work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Never use an adaptor plug together with earthed
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
the risk of electric shocks.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded objects, such
as pipes, radiators, ovens or refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose the power tool to rain or other wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the mains lead. Never use the lead for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the lead away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled
leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating power tools outdoors, use an extension lead
that is suitable for outdoor use. The use of an extension lead
designed for outdoor use decreases the risk of electric shocks.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use power tools if you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One moment of inattention while using a power tool may result in
serious injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Using protective clothing such as dust masks, non-slip
safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders when needed decreases
the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure that the power switch
is set to OFF before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch/
trigger or energising power tools that have the switch set to ON,
invites accidents.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching the power
tool on. A service tool left on a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This will allow you to have more control in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery.
Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If equipment for dust extraction and collection is available,
make sure that it is connected and used properly. Use of dust
collection equipment can reduce dust related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer if used at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Never use the power tool if the power switch does not switch
the tool on and off properly. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled by the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the lead from the wall socket, before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool.
These precautions reduce the risk of the power tool starting
unexpectedly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow people who are unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintaining power tools. Check for any incorrect settings,
parts that catch, broken parts or anything else which may
cause the power tool to malfunction. If any damage is noticed,
have the power tool repaired before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp blades are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and similar in accordance
with these instructions and in an appropriate way suitable for
the type of power tool used, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for a purpose other than that for which it is intended could result in
a dangerous situation.
5) Use and maintenance of cordless power tools
a) Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF before attaching
the battery. Attaching a battery to a power tool when the power
switch set to ON is inviting an accident.
b) Only charge the battery using a charger approved by
the manufacturer. A charger suitable for one type of battery can
pose a fire hazard if used for another type of battery.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. The use of other types of batteries might cause
damage or fire.
d) When not in use, the battery should be stored away from
other metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or any small objects that could bridge the gap between
the battery terminals. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
e) Mistreating the battery may cause it to leak acid. Contact with
this acid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If the acid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Battery acid can cause irritation and burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts.
Additional safety instructions for chargers and
batteries

• Do not expose the screwdriver to direct sunlight, flames or other
heat source which might cause the screwdriver to explode.
• Do not expose the screwdriver or charger to water.
• Do not dismantle the screwdriver as this may lead to short-
circuiting and the risk of explosion.
