accessory or the screw may contact hidden wiring or the tool's own power cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
d) Hold the power tool with a firm grip with both hands (if possible) and keep a good balance.
The tool is best guided with both hands. If bit gets locked, a strong torque reaction may occur when
screwing in or loosening screws.
e) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or electric
shock.
f) Secure the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across your legs or against
your body. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
An unstable workpiece can cause loss of control of the tool and/or injury.
g) Position yourself so as to avoid being caught between the tool or auxiliary handle or bit and the
wall or posts or workpiece. Should the bit become jammed in the workpiece, the reaction torque of
the tool could crush your body.
h) Do not use dull or damaged bits and/or accessories. Dull or damaged bits/accessories have a
greater tendency to get jammed in the workpiece, or to break, or to be ejected.
i) When installing a bit/accessory in the chuck, insert the shank of the bit/accessory well inside the
chuck. If the bit / accessory is not inserted deeply enough, the grip of the chuck over the shank of the bit /
accessory is greatly reduced likely to increase the risk of loss of control. After inserting the bit, pull on it, so
as to ensure that it is properly locked.
j) If the bit becomes bound or jammed in the workpiece, immediately stop the tool by
releasing the trigger switch, then reverse the rotation direction and slowly squeeze on the
trigger switch to release and remove the bit. Be ready for strong reaction torque likely to cause a
kickback.
k) Never grasp the tool (the chuck or the bit/accessory) while in motion and never place your hands too
close to the spinning chuck or drill bit. Laceration hazard.
l) Avoid touching the drill bit just after use, as it may be hot. Similarly, when removing the
bit/accessory from the tool, wear protective gloves to grasp it. Accessories (bit s) may become
hot after prolonged use. Avoid contact with skin. Burn hazard
m) Always wait until the chuck and accessory have come to a complete stop before placing it
down. The accessory can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
(C) Safety information about the charger and the battery-pack
Before using the charger and the battery, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on
charger, battery pack and tool.
1) Charger
a) Do not attempt to open or disassemble the charger. If the charger has been dropped or is
damaged in any way, stop using it and do not attempt to repair it. Return the charger for repair
to an authorized service center or a qualified person, to avoid any danger to the user; or discard it
according to local laws.
b) Protect the charger against any heat source (e.g. direct sunlight exposure, fire, heater...).
To prevent any damage to the charger.
c) Do not expose the charger to water, moisture and cold. Electric shock hazard.
d) If the power cord or the plug becomes damaged, stop suing the charger until it has been
repaired by a qualified person. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its authorized service center, in order to avoid a hazard.. Electric shock
hazard.
e) Only use the charger provided with the tool, or a same type or same model charger to
charge the battery. The use of other types of charger increases the risk of electric shock, personal
injury and damage.
