4. Special Safety Instructions

Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting fastener may contact hidden
wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire, may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to naked
flame!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!

Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!
Slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately.
Only screwdriving bits suitable for the impact
screwdriver must be used.
Take care when driving in long screws - risk of
slipping.
Mount the machine on the screw only when it is
switched off.
Wear ear protectors when working for long
periods of time. High noise levels over a
prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
LED lights (4): Do not observe the LED radiation

Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
