SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SCREWDRIVERS AND DRILLS
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutting accessory and fasteners
contacting a live wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool live and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Safety Instruction when using long drill bits
a) Never operate at higher speed that the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if
allowed to rotate freely without contacting the
workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and
with the bit tip in contact with the workpi-
ece.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend
if allowed to rotate freely without contacting
the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the
bit and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of
control, resulting in personal injury.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
These data are then used exclusively to be able
to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if
undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.
Caution!
Analyses con
fi
rm that incorrect use and
poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the
fi
rst
time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open
fi
re.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi
re.
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.
8.
Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads.
Overloads will quickly result
in overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.
9.
Avoid damage and shocks.
Replace
batteries which have been dropped from
a height of more than one meter or which
have been exposed to violent shocks without
delay, even if the housing of the battery pack
appears to be undamaged. The battery cells
inside the battery may have su
ff
ered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack su
ff
ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-
o
ff
will switch o
ff
the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-o
ff
has
actuated. This may damage the battery.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a
fi
re risk.
