Page: 11 / 62

Safety instructions:
These safety instructions must be read before using the machine, battery, or charger.
Non-compliance with these instructions may cause an accident.
These instructions are not to be substituted to the rules currently enforced in the country of use.
Take the worksite environment into consideration:
- Do not expose electrical devices to rain.
- Do not use electric tools in a humid or damp environment, neither close to liquids, flammable gases or explosives.
- Always work in a clear and tidy area.
- Check there are no cables nor pipes in the zone you are about to drill.
Protect yourself from the risk of electrocution:
- When using electric tools, prevent any body contact with grounded elements. If during work using power tools, you use coolants or lubricants
with conductive properties, or when you are working in extreme conditions, etc ,... use protection devices (FI, DI, PRCD) complying with enforced
regulations.
- Do not leave an idle electric machine powered on.
- Observe the operating voltage and do not modify the connecting socket.
Protect yourself against risks of burns:
- Wear appropriate clothing: no loose clothing, no jewellery which may be caught in moving parts.
- Do not let long hair hang: wear a cap.
- Wear gloves, protection goggles, and ear protections for all works.
- Beware sliding floors and wear antislip shoes.
- Rubber gloves and shoes are recommended for outdoor work.
- Hold the power tool firmly with 2 hands and ensure your balance: upon start-up, the machine can rotate brutally on itself.
- Fasten the objects you wish to work with securely, using appropriate equipment: the part will be maintained better and both your hands will be
free to handle the power tool.
- Always disconnect the power tool before changing a tool (change of bit or socket for example...), or before performing cleaning by hand.
- Never carry the tool holding it by the trigger: it could start operating uncontrollably.
- Check the proper fastening of the tools (drill bits, bits...), on the machine before use and after removing the battery.
- Never approach a part of the body close to moving parts; in particular, do not touch the chuck or the tool on the chuck when in movement (e.g.
to slow it down or to guide it,...)
Protect other persons:
- Avoid the presence of persons close to the area of use of the machine, and particularly children.
- Do not leave any machine within children’s reach.
- Ensure nobody touches the power supply for electric equipment.
Select the tool suited to the work to perform:
- Do not use tools with insufficient power in respect of the work to perform. Do not use a tool for purposes other than its original design.
Preserving the charger’s power supply:
- Do not carry the charger by its power supply cable, and do not pull the cable to remove the mains plug.
- Protect the cable from heat, hot, cutting or abrasive objects, and chemicals.
- Do not modify the mains plug.
- Inspect the cable and plug before each use.
Check your machine regularly:
- Before using the machine, check the perfect operation of the controls, tightening, fastening, and operation of moving parts and tools.
- Check the machine is in good condition: shell assembled properly, no cracks nor dents.
- Never use a damaged machine or a machine showing abnormal operation.
- Always use batteries adapted to your machine.
- Never modify a machine.
Protect the batteries and handle them with care:
- Never use faulty or distorted batteries.
- Never expose the batteries to fire.
- Store your machine and your batteries in a location where the temperature is below 40˚C.
- Do not open the batteries.
- Fluid can leak from a damaged accumulator: never touch this fluid. In case of contact, perform a long rinse with water; in case of contact with
the eyes, call a doctor.
- Never touch nor short-circuit the contacts.
- Never place a metallic object close to the contacts: risk of burn or fire.
Never damage the charger:
- Do not insert foreign bodies into the charger’s ventilation slots.
- Do not leave the charger connected permanently; it must cool down between 2 charges.
- Observe the temperatures of use of the charger.
- Charge your battery in a dry and ventilated location, the ideal temperature is between 10˚C and 40˚C.
- Do not direct the LED light towards the eyes.
