Cordless hammer driver drill safety 

warnings

Safety instructions for all operations

1. 

Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.

 

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2. 

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces, when performing an operation where 

the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact 

hidden wiring. 

Cutting accessory or fasteners 

contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal 

parts of the power tool "live" and could give the 

operator an electric shock.

3. 

Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be 

sure no one is below when using the tool in 

high locations.

4. 

Hold the tool firmly.

5. 

Keep hands away from rotating parts.

6. 

Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 

only when hand-held.

7. 

Do not touch the drill bit, the workpiece or 

chips immediately after operation; they may be 

extremely hot and could burn your skin.

8. 

Some material contains chemicals which may 

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-

tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier 

safety data.

9. 

If the drill bit cannot be loosened even you 

open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out.

 In such a 

case, pulling out the drill bit by hand may result in 

injury by its sharp edge.

10. 

Make sure there are no electrical cables, water 

pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard 

if damaged by use of the tool.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits

1. 

Never operate at higher speed than the max-

imum speed rating of the drill bit.

 At higher 

speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate 

freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting 

in personal injury.

2. 

Always start drilling at low speed and with the 

bit tip in contact with the workpiece.

 At higher 

speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate 

freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting 

in personal injury.

3. 

Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit 

and do not apply excessive pressure.

 Bits can 

bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting 

in personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

 

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity 

with product (gained from repeated use) replace 

strict adherence to safety rules for the subject 

product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety 

rules stated in this instruction manual may cause 

serious personal injury.

flow, overheating, possible burns and even a 

breakdown.

Do not store and use the tool and battery car-

tridge in locations where the temperature may 

reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

8. 

Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery 

cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the 

battery cartridge.

 Such conduct may result in a 

fire, excessive heat, or explosion.

9. 

Do not use a damaged battery.

10. 

The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject 

to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require-

ments. 

For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, 

forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-

aging and labeling must be observed. 

For preparation of the item being shipped, consult-

it from the tool and dispose of it in a safe 

place. Follow your local regulations relating to 

disposal of battery.
