outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoida-
ble, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• 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 before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
• 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 users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, 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 ac-
cordance 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 in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. 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 designated 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
• 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.
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.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SCREWDRIVERS
• 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 ac-
cessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hid-
den in the work area or call the 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 in-
sert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that can
cause kickback. The tool insert jams when: – the power
tool is subject to overload – 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.
• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
• Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
• Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continu-
ous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medi-
cal help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate
