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 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 detach
able, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally .
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 unex-
pected situations .

5 . Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained .
Appliance-specific safety instructions
for impact wrenches
■
Wear hearing protection when impact
screwing. Exposure to loud noise can lead to
hearing loss .
■
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece securely
held by a clamping device or vice is much safer
than one held in your hand .
■
Hold the power tool firmly. High torques can
occur for brief periods while tightening and
loosening screws .
■
Wait until the power tool has come to a stand
still before putting it down. The tool could
catch in something and thus lead to loss of
control of the power tool .
■
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock .
WARNING!
■
To avoid potential risks, damaged mains
cables should be replaced by the manufac-
turer, their customer service department or a
similarly qualified person .
ATTENTION! Hot surface .
There is a risk of burns .
