attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating

WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

4. Special safety instructions

Wear ear protectors when impact drilling
(machines with the designation SB). Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use the additional handle supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Brace the power tool properly before use. This
tool produces a high output torque and without
properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of
control may occur resulting in personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory 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:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage and loss of control,
resulting in personal injury.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
Always hold the machine with both hands on the
designated handles, take a secure stance and
concentrate on the work.
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting
the battery pack.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only when the
machine is at a standstill.
Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation
(e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
LED light (14): do not observe the LED radiation
directly with optical instruments.
CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp.
