Safety instructions

2.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in-
structions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 Machine-related safety instructions
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping surface,
when performing an operation where the fas-
tener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
– Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.

– Hold the power tool firmly in your hand. Adjust
the torque correctly for screwing. Be prepared

– Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp
surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may
cause a short circuit and burning.
– Do not lock the on/off switch permanently!
– Connecting the magazine attachment and dry-
wall screwdriver results in a device, which is sub-
ject to the safety regulations and instruction for
the drywall screwdriver.
