h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according
to these instructions. Take into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Using and handling the cordless tool
a) Only charge the batteries with battery chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A battery char-
ger that is suitable for a particular type of battery pos-
es a fire hazard when used with other batteries.
b) Only use the batteries in power tools that are de-
signed for them. The use of other batteries can lead
to injuries and a risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal ob-
jects that could cause a short-circuit between the
contacts. A short-circuit between the contacts of the
battery could result in burns or fires.

d) Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrect-
ly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental con-
tact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your
eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking
battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Dam-
aged or modified batteries can behave unpredictably
and cause fire, explosion or injury.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive tem-
peratures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C may
cause an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and never charge
the battery or rechargeable tool outside the tem-
perature range specified in the operating manual.
Incorrect charging or charging outside the approved
temperature range can destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fire.
h) Never attempt to service damaged batteries. Any
type of battery maintenance shall be carried out only
by the manufacturer or an authorised customer ser-
vice centre.
Safety instructions for screw drivers
• Wear hearing protection when impact screwing.
Excessive noise can result in a loss of hearing.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with a
clamping device or bench vice is held more securely
than with your hand.
• Hold the electric tool firmly. When tightening and
undoing screws, high reaction torques may occur for a
short time.
• Wait until the electrical tool has come to a stand-
still before setting it down. The tool attachment can
get caught and this can lead to loss of control over the
electric tool.
• Hold the device by the insulated gripping surfaces
when carrying out work where the screw or the
tool attachment may hit hidden power lines. Con-
tact between the screw or tool attachment and a live
power line can also electrify metal device parts and
lead to an electric shock.
Residual risks
The product has been built according to state-of-the-
art and the recognised technical safety rules. Howev-
er, individual residual risks can arise during opera-
tion.
• Damage to hearing if the stipulated hearing protection
is not worn.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety Instruc-
tions" and the "Intended Use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
• Use the product in the way that is recommended in
this operating manual. This is how to ensure that your
product provides optimum performance.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
