d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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 accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect 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 maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different 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 handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for All Operations
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory or the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or the
fastener contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety Instructions When Using Long Drill Bits
• Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed
rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend
if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
• Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in
contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to
bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not
apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or
loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Additional Safety Warnings for Drills
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Accessories and tool may get hot during operation.
Wear gloves when handling them if performing heat producing
applications such as drilling metals.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of drills:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of
the tool.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when changing accessories.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in wood.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
