Power tool use and care
• The persons with lowered psychophysical or men-
tal aptitudes as well as children can not operate the
power tool, if they are not supervised or instructed
about use of the power tool by a person responsible
for their safety�
• 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 at the rate for which
it was designed�
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired�
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and / or the battery pack from the power tool be-
fore making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools� Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally�
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users�
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools�
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control�
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, 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 hazard-
ous situation�
• 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�
• Note that when you operate a power tool, please
hold the auxiliary handle correctly, which is helpful
when controlling the power tool� Therefore, proper
holding can reduce the risk of accidents or injuries�
Battery tool use and care
• 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�
• Use power tools only with specifically designat-
ed battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns�
• Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the
on / off switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger
on the on / off switch or inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch in accidents�
• Do not open the battery. Danger of circuit�
• In case of damage and improper use of the bat-
tery, vapors may be emitted. Provide for fresh air
and seek medical help in case of complaints. The
vapors can irritate the respiratory system�
• When the battery is defective, liquid can escape
and come into contact with adjacent components�
Check any parts concerned� Clean such parts or re-
place them, if required�
• Protect the battery against heat, e.g., also
against continuous sun irradiation and fire. There
is danger of explosion�
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
• Protect the battery charger from rain and mois-
ture. The penetration of water in a battery charger in-
creases the risk of electric shock�
• Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger
is suitable only for charging lithium ion batteries within
the listed voltage range� Otherwise there is danger of
fire and explosion.
• Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination
may cause the danger of electric shock�
• Check the battery charger, cable and plug each
time before using. Do not use the battery charger
when defects are detected. Do not open the battery
charger yourself and have it repaired only by quali-
fied personnel using original spare parts. Damaged
battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of
electric shock�
• Do not operate the battery charger on easily in-
flammable surfaces (e.g. , paper , textiles , etc.) or
in combustible environments. There is danger of fire
due to the heating of the battery charger during charging�
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained�
• Follow instruction for lubricating and changing ac-
cessories�
Special safety warnings
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Expo-
sure to noise can cause hearing loss�
NOTE: The above warning applies only to impact drills
and may be omitted for drills other than impact drills�
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury�
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock�
