f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
i. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact with 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.
Battery tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paperclips, 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.
d. 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.
Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacements parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Safety warnings for drills and screwdrivers
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call your local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately when
the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high
reaction torque that can cause kickback. The
tool insert jams when:
• the power tool is subject to overload
• or it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High
reaction torque can briefly occur while driving in
and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials
are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys
can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the
trigger is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying the power tool with your
finger on the trigger or inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
