d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Dam-
aged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Always use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit
breaker device.
3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the in
fl uence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your
fi nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
h. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than us-
ing your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
4) Power tool use and care
a. 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 de-
signed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that can not be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the man-
ner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in hazardous situation.
5) Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a quali fi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
insure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILLS
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-
ing battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Recharge only with the charger speci fi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of
fi re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with speci fi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and
fi re.
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails
and other elements in your workpiece; remove them
before you start working
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as
the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the charg-
er (chargers with a rating of 230V or 240V can also
be connected to a 220V supply)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, im-
mediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from
power source
