Safety instructions
3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
carelessness while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
4) Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Charging battery
Recharging
Batteries must be fully used before charging
•
When the battery is charged the cordless hammer drill has to be used
until you start noticing that the power of the drill is diminishing and that
the maximum rotational speed is not reached.
•
Now the battery is almost discharged, start recharging it.
•
If you charge the battery while it is still only one third used, the ’memory
effect’ can occur. During charging only the used part of the battery is
charged. Crystallization can occur on the one third that is still charged,
causing permanent damage. This will result in reduced use time from a
fully charged battery.
•
Do not use up the battery completely. As soon as you notice that the
power or the maximum rotational speed is diminishing, you must charge
the battery. If when using the drill the battery becomes fully used, a
‘switch of poles effect’ can occur. Once this has occurred, the damage to
the battery is irreparable.
When the cordless hammer drill is not being used over a long
period of time, the battery must be charged fully before storing.
