away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related haz-
ards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not 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 adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
e) Maintain power tools. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
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 instructions, tak-
ing 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.
5. 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.
IV - Additional safety rules
for cordless drills / drivers
▪ Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condi-
tion, because it does not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet. Always set the trigger switch to the
locked OFF position when installing or removing the

chine. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where the
operating tool may contact hidden wiring or its

posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
▪ If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your
work.
▪ Do not touch the bit after operation. It will be very hot.
▪ When using the drill, use safety equipment including
safety glasses and ear defenders. Wear a dust mask
if the drilling operation creates dust.
▪ The dust, separated while processing materials, con-
2
taining quartz (SiO
) is dangerous to your health. Do
not process materials containing asbestos.
