General safety warnings
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tools. 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.
a. 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.
a. 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 preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
a. 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.
a. Maintain power tools with care. 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 accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
a. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
a. 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.

to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
7. General safety information for battery-powered drill/drivers.
Drill safety warnings:
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
8. Safety notes for battery/charger.
a. Keep the charger away from rain or damp conditions. Water entering into
the charger will increase the risk of an electrical shock.
b. Only use chargers recommended by the manufacturer to recharge the
battery. There is a risk of fire if it is used with other batteries.
c. Never use to recharge third-party batteries. The charger is only designed
to charge the supplied batteries (Li-Ion) using the voltages specified in the
Technical Data. Otherwise there is a risk of fire or explosion.
