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.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Safety warnings for drills and screwdrivers
1. Safety instructions for all operations
a. Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b. Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
The cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool conductive and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Safety instructions when using long drill bits
a. Never operate at a 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.
b. 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.
c. 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 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 becomes blocked or stuck. Be
prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback. The tool becomes blocked
when:
• the power tool is subjected 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.
