safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
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
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools. 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, 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.
5) 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 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.
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.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
users.
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for All Operations
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or the fastener may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory or the fastener 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.
