Power tool use and care:
Do not overload the machine. 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 adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting 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 condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, 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 accordance 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 intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care:
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. 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 terminals 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.
Safety instructions for drills and screwdrivers:
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden 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.
Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction
torque that can cause kickback.
The tool insert jams when:
– the power tool is subject 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.
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.
