*1), meet all relevant requirements of directives *2)
and standards *3). Technical documents at *4) -
Fig. M.
For UK only:
We as manufacturer and authorized person to
compile the technical file, see *4)

drills, identified by type and serial number *1) on
page 3, fulfill all relevant provisions of following UK
Regulations S.I. 2016/1091, S.I. 2008/1597, S.I.
2012/3032 and Designated Standards EN 60745-

2. Specified Use

The drills and impact drills are suitable for drilling in
metal, wood, plastic and similar materials, and also
for screwdriving 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 improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regula-
tions 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 atten-
tion to all parts of the text that are marked
with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your electrical 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.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool
(depending on the model). Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory/fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory/fasteners
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 spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
by using a metal detector).
Protect battery packs from water and mois-
Fig. M.,
ture!
Do not expose battery packs to naked flame!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!
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 imme-
diately.
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
LED lights (14): Do not observe the LED radiation
directly with optical instruments.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
