General safety instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 Machine-specific safety notices for cordless
drills
– Wear ear protection when impact drilling. Expo-
12
sure to noise can result in loss of hearing.
– 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 or fastener 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.
– Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas
line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
– Wear suitable protection: such as ear protection,
safety goggles, a dust mask for work which gener-
ates dust, and protective gloves when working with
raw materials and when changing tools.
CAUTION! Power tool can block and cause
sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!
– Hold the power tool firmly in your hand. Adjust the
torque correctly for screwing. Be prepared for a
high reaction torque, which may cause the power
tool to turn and possibly lead to injury.
– Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp
surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may
cause a short circuit and burning.
– Do not lock the on/off switch permanently!
2.3 Battery pack and charger safety instructions
– This charger can be operated by persons with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a
lack of practical experience and knowledge, provid-
ed they are supervised or have been instructed to
use the machine safely and understand the dan-
gers of machine operation. Children are not al-
lowed use or play with the machine.
– Do not open the battery pack or the charger!
– Prevent metal parts (e.g. metal chips) or fluids
from entering the charger!
– Risk of explosion! Do not use battery packs or
chargers from other manufacturers!
– Protect the battery pack from excessive heat > 50
°C or constant heat sources such as sunlight or na-
ked flames!

tery packs! Use sand or a fire blanket.
