• 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.
• 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, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of these devices 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 can-
not 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 pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 acci-
dents 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.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Safety notes for drills
• Wear ear defenders when hammer drilling.
The effects of noise can result in a loss of hearing.
• Use the additional handles supplied with the
device. Losing control may cause injuries.
• Hold the device by the insulated surfaces
when carrying out work during which it is pos-
sible that the tool or screw may come across
hidden power cables or its own cable.
Con-
tact with a cable that carries power will subject the
metal parts of the device to current and will lead to
electrical shock.
Additional safety notes
• Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to
determine whether there are any hidden sup-
ply lines are located on the area you are work-
ing in. If in doubt, ask the relevant supply ser-
vices.
Contact with power lines may cause fire
and electrical shock. Damaging a gas pipe may
cause an explosion. Damaging a water pipe leads
to considerable property damage and may cause
electrical shock.
• Wait until the power tool has come to a stand-
still before you put it down. The inserted tool
may otherwise jam and cause a loss of control
over the power tool.
• Secure the work piece.
Use tensioning equip-
ment or a vice to secure the work piece to help
prevent kickback or uncontrolled flying of the work
piece (e.g. when getting jammed in the work
piece).
• Immediately switch off the power tool when
the inserted tool becomes blocked. Be pre-
pared for high responses instances in the
event of kickback.
The inserted tool will jam
when the power tool is overloaded or tilted within
the work piece.
• Never use the power tool with a damaged
cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug.
Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Prevent overheating of the device and the
work piece.
Excess heat may damage the tool
and the device.
• Shortly after being used, the tool may be very
hot. Allow a hot tool to cool down. Touching a
hot tool may cause burns.
• Never clean a hot tool with flammable liquids.
There is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slip-
pery handles can lead to accidents.
• When working, hold the power tool firmly with
both hands and ensure you have a stable foot-
ing.
The power tool can be guided in a safer fash-
ion when you use two hands.
• Always comply with the all applicable domes-
tic and international safety, health, and work-
ing regulations.
Inform yourself before you start
work about the regulations that apply at the site of
the device.
• Remember that moving parts may also be located
behind ventilation and venting slots.
• Symbols affixed to your device may not be
removed or covered. Information on the device
that is no longer legible must be replaced immedi-
ately.
Before putting the unit into operation, read
and observe the instructions for use.
