b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Drills/
Drivers/Impact Drills
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
•
noise can cause hearing loss.
Use the auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss
•
of control can cause personal injury.
• Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a
high output torque and without properly bracing the tool
during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in
personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory or
fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
or fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Safety Instructions When Using Long
Drill Bits
Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
•
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely
to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the
workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip
•
in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is
likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the
workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not
•
apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or
loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
•
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
Wear ear protectors when hammering for extended
•
periods of time. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
can cause hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss or serious ear
drum damage may result from high sound levels generated
by hammerdrilling.
Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
•
and drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can
cause permanent eye damage.
Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear
•
gloves when touching them.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit
exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of drills:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of
the tool.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when changing accessories.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in wood.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
