Use power tools only with specifically designa-
ted battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create risk of
injury and fi re.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
EN
from other metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can cause a bridging of contacts.
Short-circuit between the battery terminals may
cause burns or a fi re.
On inappropriate use, liquid may
be leak from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact occurs acci-
dentally, flush with water. If liquid
comes into contact with the eyes,
seek medical help.
Liquid leaking from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained..
Machine-specifi c Safety Warnings
Wear hearing protection.
The effects of noise can cause loss
of hearing capacity
Wear safety gloves.
Hold the machine with a firm grip.
High reaction torque can briefl y occur while driving
in and loosening screws.
Always assume a safe standing position and
hold the power tool securely in both hands.
Use appropriate detectors to deter-
mine if utility lines are hidden in the
work area or call the local utility
company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to
fi re and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes damage to
property or electric shock.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory or fastener may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work on stone containing
crystalline silica (SiO2).
SiO
2
This will produce dust which is dan-
gerous to your health.
Do not work on materials contai-
ning asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic!
Take protective measures if there is danger
of formation of combustible or explosive dust
during operation that can be hazardous to
health.
Example: Some dusts can be carcinogenic. Wear
a dust mask and work with a dust/chip extraction
unit, if possible to connect.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down.
The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Tools not in use must be locked
away safely in a dry place out of
the reach of children.
Switch the power tool off immedia-
tely if the tool insert gets jammed.
Be prepared for high torque levels
if the tool kicks back.
The tool insert jams if:

the power tool becomes overloaded or

the tool tilts in the workpiece.
Residual risk. Although this information sheet
and the operating manuals for our electrical
tools contain extensive instructions on safe
working with electrical tools, every electrical
tool involves certain residual risks that cannot
be completely prevented through safety mecha-
nisms. Therefore, electrical tools must always
be operated with the necessary caution.
