away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust- related hazards.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•
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.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
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.
•
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.
•
Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
•
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 intendeds could
result in a hazardous situation.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
•
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•
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.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F may cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
•
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.
•
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR HAMMER
DRILL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
•
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
•
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact
hidden wiring. 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
•
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.
•
Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece.
