that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety meas-
ures 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 unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, 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 hazard-
ous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fi
ed repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning!
Additional safety warnings for
drills and impact drills
♦
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
♦
Use auxiliary handles 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 opera-
tor 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
♦
Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
♦
Before drilling into walls,
fl
oors or ceilings,
check for the location of wiring and pipes.
♦
Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just after
drilling, as it may be hot.
Residual risks.
Additional residual risks may arise when using the
tool which may not be included in the enclosed
safety warnings. These risks can arise from
misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks can not be avoided.
These include:
♦
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/mov-
ing parts.
♦
Injuries caused when changing any parts,
blades or accessories.
♦
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool.
When using any tool for prolonged periods
ensure you take regular breaks.
♦
Impairment of hearing.
♦
Health hazards caused by breathing dust
developed when using your tool (example:-
working with wood, especially oak, beech and
MDF.)
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated
in the technical data and the declaration of
conformity have been measured in accordance
with a standard test method provided by EN 60745
and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
Warning!
The vibration emission value during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value depending on the ways in which
the tool is used. The vibration level may increase
above the level stated.
