ing 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 mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition 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 oper-
ations diff erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
►
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 anoth-
er battery pack.
►
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
► 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 fi re.
► Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs,
fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
Service
► Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Safety warnings for drills and
screwdrivers
►
Wear ear protectors when impact drill-
ing . 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 ac-
cessory and fasteners contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.
► Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with
the tool. Loss of control can cause per-
sonal injury.
► 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 fi re 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 is jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque that can cause
kickback.
►
Hold the machine with a fi rm grip.
High
reaction torque can briefl y occur while driv-
ing 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.
►
Do not open the battery.
Danger of
short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against
heat, e. g., against continuous
intense sunlight, fi re, water, and mois-
ture.
Danger of explosion.
► In case of damage and improper use
of the battery, vapours may be emitted.
Ventilate the area and seek medical
help in case of complaints. The vapours
can irritate the respiratory system.
► Use the battery only in conjunction
with your P.I.T. power tool. This measure
alone protects the battery against danger-
ous overload.
