d) Operation of the Cordless Impact Screw Driller
•
Keep your workplace clean. Ensure good lighting at the workplace. Disorder at the workplace or bad
lighting may cause accidents. Keep children away from the working area! Ensure good ventilation of the
workplace.
• Only operate the product when your ability to react is unrestricted. Fatigue or the influence of alcohol or
medication can lead to accidents and injury.
•
Rotating parts may wind up hair or items of clothing, danger of injury! Therefore, wear, e.g., a hair net if
you have long hair, and wear close-fitting clothes when working.
•
Never touch the turning drill chuck; never touch the turning drill or any other tool inserts (e.g. screw bits).
Risk of injury!
•
Check the cordless impact screw driller and the rechargeable battery inserted for damage before any
use. If you find any damage, do not take the device into operation, but have it checked by a specialist.
•
The rotating direction switch must be put into the middle position for reasons of safety before inserting or
removing drills or bits. The drive will be blocked in this position (activation lock).
•
Use the cordless impact screw driller only for turning in and out screws, drilling holes or similar work. The
cordless impact screw driller must not be used for any other purposes (such as mixing of mortar, driving
other devices/machines/tools, etc.).
•
Never overload any electrical devices. Use electrical devices only for the work that they are intended for.
•
Secure the workpiece against slipping or twisting. Use, e.g., a vice for drilling.
•
Ensure safe stance when working; use, e.g., a suitable, strong ladder.
•
Ensure that no power, gas or water lines are damaged when drilling or turning in screws! With power
lines, there is a danger to life from electrical shock; with gas lines, there is a danger of fire and explosion!
Water lines may also lead to high property damage.
•
Never work on live parts. When working near any electrical lines or similar, always ensure suitable
contact protection.
•
Never stress the cordless impact screw driller to where the drive stops. This may damage the motor and
the gear both. Blocking of the drive will also lead to very high currents, so that the rechargeable battery
and the power electronics in the cordless impact screw driller will be overloaded.
•
Never push any objects into the ventilation openings of the cordless impact screw driller. Also ensure that
no drilling dust or metal chips can enter the ventilation openings. This may lead to short circuit and there
is a danger of fire and explosion from the rechargeable battery!
•
Depending on the work for which the cordless impact screw driller is used, wear safety goggles, a dust
mask and hearing protection; if required, also wear a safety helmet (e.g. when working overhead). Oth-
erwise, there are various dangers of injury!
•
Dusts from various materials may be hazardous to health and may cause allergic reactions, diseases of
the respiratory system or even cancer (e.g. asbestos-containing material - this must only be processed/
used by specialists).
•
Observe the provisions valid in your country, e.g. on work protection measures.
