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
• Only use the supplied charger to charge the screwdriver with.
• Never use the charger for charging anything other than the screwdriver
it was supplied with.
• 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.

• The battery terminals must be disconnected separately, one after the other.
The battery terminals must be isolated. This is to stop the residual current
in the battery from being released through a short circuit.
