It is also suitable for drilling without impact in wood,
metal, ceramic and plastic.

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instruc
-
tions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your

Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo

liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
4.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
5.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec
-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con
-
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
