ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the
machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale
the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light
beam yourself (not even from a distance). Staring into the light beam may result
in serious injury or vision loss.
The product is not waterproof. Do not submerge in liquid. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
Switch the device off immediately if the accessory stalls! Do not switch the device
on again while the accessory is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil
with a high reactive force. Determine why the accessory stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
■
it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
■
it has pierced through the material to be machined
■
the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running. The accessory may become
hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
■
when changing tools
■
when setting the device down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to avoid electric cables and gas
or waterpipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause
severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning
them. Take them to an appropriate disposal/collection site.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only System GBS chargers for charging System GBS battery packs. Do not
use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep
dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme
temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it off immediately with
soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes
and immediately seek medical attention.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely
eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■
Risk of electrocution if electric cables are drilled into. – Always grasp the
product by designated handles; do not touch the drill bits.
■
Damage to the respiratory system. - Wear respiratory protection masks
containing filters appropriate to the materials being worked. Ensure
adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
■
Damage to hearing – Always wear effective hearing protection and limit
exposure to noise.
■
Damage to eyes from flying dust and debris particles – Always wear suitable
eye protection.
■
Injury caused by vibration – Hold the product by designated handles; limit
exposure to vibration. See "risk reduction".
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a
condition called Raynaud's Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon
exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet,
smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves
to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a
major factor contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
■
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue
use and see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use of a
tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This electronic percussion drill/screwdriver is intended to be used only by adults
who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual and
can be considered responsible for their actions.
The product can be used for drilling into various materials including wood, metal
and plastics using a drill bit less than 13 mm in diameter. The product can also be
used in hammer mode for drilling masonry and similar materials.
Do not use the product for any other purpose not described above.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged
before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery
pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the
charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from
moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage
due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or
allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local,
national and international provisions and regulations.
■
The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
■
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject
to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport
are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately. trained persons and the
