WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.

DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety instructions for all operations
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Use the auxiliary handle(s). 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.
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C
and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging
system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working
with the product. The use of protective clothing is recommended,
such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet
and ear defenders.

asbestos).
Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare
into the light beam yourself (not even from a distance). Staring into
AL18G
the light beam may result in serious injury or vision loss.
BL1218
BLK1218
The product is not waterproof. Do not submerge in liquid. Failure to
BL18DP2-X5
heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
BL18DPS
Switch the product off immediately if the accessory stalls! Do not
BL18S
switch the device on again while the accessory is stalled, as doing so
could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine
why the accessory stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety
instructions.
The possible causes may be:
■ it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
■ it has pierced through the material to be machined
■ the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the product while it is running. The accessory may
become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
■ when changing tools
■ when setting the device down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the product is running.
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to avoid electric
cables and gas or waterpipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces
can cause severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
Remove battery pack before storing or transporting the product.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by
burning them. Take them to an appropriate disposal/collection site.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System GBS chargers for charging System GBS battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to
avoid the following:
■ Risk of electrocution if electric cables are drilled into. – Always
grasp the product by designated handles; do not touch the drill
bits.
■ Damage to the respiratory system. - Wear respiratory protection
masks containing filters appropriate to the materials being
worked. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, drink
