Bosch SGH182 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual page 3

Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
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 could give the
operator an electric shock.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist.
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Dust and
debris may be expelled from the work piece
during normal operation.
Secure the material being fastened. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to
bind causing loss of control and injury.
Safety Rules for Cordless Screwguns
If this situation is
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
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 fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.
Position the cord clear of rotating driver.
Do not wrap the cord around your arm or
wrist. If you lose control and have the cord
wrapped around your arm or wrist it may
entrap you and cause injury.
Be aware of the location and setting of the
switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch is
locked "ON" during the use, be ready for
emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by
first pulling the trigger then immediately
releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON"
button.
Be prepared for a strong reaction torque
when "seating" or removing a screw. The
driver motor housing will tend to twist in the
opposite direction when "seating" or
removing a screw.
