g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 sec-
ond.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct pow-
er 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
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
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
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained 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
working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended 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 han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
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
maintained.

Using and handling the rechargeable
tool
a) Only charge the batteries with battery chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A battery
charger that is suitable for a particular type of bat-
tery poses a fire hazard when used with other bat-
teries.
b) Only use the batteries in power tools that are
designed 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
objects 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 incor-
rectly. Avoid contact with it. In case of acciden-
tal contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets in-
to 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 unpredict-
ably 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 temperature range specified in the operating
manual. Incorrect charging or charging outside the
approved temperature range can destroy the bat-
tery and increase the risk of fire.
h) Never attempt to service damaged batteries. Any
type of battery maintenance shall be carried out on-
ly by the manufacturer or an authorised customer
service centre.
Safety instructions for hammers
1) Safety instructions for all work
a) Wear ear protection when impact drilling. Exces-
sive noise can result in a loss of hearing.
b) Use the additional handle(s). Loss of control can
lead to injuries.
c) Support the electric tool well before use. This
electric tool generates high levels of torque. If the
electric tool is not securely supported during opera-
tion, this can lead to a loss of control and to injuries.
d) When performing work during which the tool at-
tachment or the screws can meet with con-
cealed power lines or its own connection cable,
hold the electric tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces. Contact with a live wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool live and could
give the operator an electric shock.
