Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
5.
Never operate at higher speed than 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.
6.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit
tip in contact with the workpiece.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed
to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
7.
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.
8.
Make sure to securely hold the tool during
operation.
Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries.

9. Never place hands or other body parts near the drill
bit or chuck during operation. Hold the drill by its
handle only.
10. Because the cordless tool operates by battery power,
be aware of the fact that it can begin to operate at any
time.
11. When working at elevated locations, clear the area
of all other people and be aware of conditions below
you.
12.
Never touch moving parts.
Never place your hands,
fi
ngers or other body parts
near the tool’s moving parts.
13.
Never operate without all guards in place.
Never operate this tool without all guards or safety
features in place and in proper working order. If
maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a
guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard
or safety feature before resuming operation of the
tool.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs,
fl
ush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modi
fi
ed.
Damaged or modi
fi
ed batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fi
re, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fi
re or
excessive temperature.
Exposure
to
fi
re or temperature above 265 °F may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range speci
fi
ed in the
instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the speci
fi
ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of
fi
re.
6) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service
providers.
