Original Instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

We, being solely responsible: Hereby declare that
these cordless drills/screwdrivers and impact drills,
identified by type and serial number *1), meet all
relevant requirements of directives *2) and
standards *3). Technical documents for *4) - see
page 3.

2. Specified Use

The drills and impact drills are suitable for drilling in
metal, wood, plastic and similar materials, and also
for screw driving and thread tapping.
The impact drills are also suited for drilling in
masonry, brickwork and stone.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.

3. General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your power tool only together with these
documents.

4. Special Safety Instructions

Wear ear protectors with impact drills
(machines with the designation SB). Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. A cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
check using a metal detector).
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and
comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with
clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch contacts or short-circuit battery packs!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at a standstill.
Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation
(e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
LED lights (10): Do not observe the LED radiation
directly with optical instruments.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the particles generated using this
power tool may contain substances known to
cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these substances are: lead
(from lead-based paints), crystalline silica (from
bricks cement, etc.), additives for wood treatment
(chromate, wood preservative), some types of
wood (like oak and beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long the user or nearby persons are
being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce exposure to these substances: work in a
well ventilated area and wear protective equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
