one's health, combustible or explosive.
Example: Some dusts are regarded as car-
cinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable.

cially when impact drilling, the chuck can
become very hot. In this case we recom-
mend wearing protective gloves.
Screwdriver Tools

When using screwdriver bits 13, a bit holder
14 should always be used. Use only the
screwdriver bits that fit the screw head.
Set selector switch 2 to the drill symbol for
the screwing function.

Initial operation

Do not drill, fasten or cut into blind areas
where electric, gas or water lines may exist.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
these lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contacting electric lines may cause fire or
electric shock.
Striking a gas line will probably result in explo-
sion. Breaking into a water pipe will cause prop-
erty damage or may cause an electric shock.
Check for correct mains voltage: The
voltage of the power source must agree with
the voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine.
