Additional Safety Instructions - Flex CHE 2-26 18.0-EC Notice D'instruction D'origine

 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 instructions

 Use suitable detectors to detect
concealed power supply cables or
consult your local supply company.
Contact with electric cables may result in
a fire and/or electric shock. A damaged
gas pipe may cause an explosion. Cutting
into a water pipe will cause damage to
property or may cause an electric shock.
 When working, hold the power tool firmly
with both hands and ensure that you
have a secure footing. The power tool is
controlled more securely if held with both
hands.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece is
held more securely in a clamping device
than by hand.
 Only use tools with SDS-plus tool holder.
Pull on the tool to check that it is locked
properly.
 Have a damaged dust cap replaced
immediately. The dust cap prevents the
ingress of dust into the tool holder.
 Dust released from materials, such as
lead paints, some types of wood, minerals
and metal, may be hazardous to the
operator or people in the vicinity. Inhaling
or touching such dust may result in
respiratory diseases and/or allergic
reactions.
– Ensure the workplace is well
ventilated.
– If possible, use external dust
extraction.
– It is recommended to wear a respirator
mask belonging to filter class P2.
 Do not work on materials which release
hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).

 Use only original batteries with the
voltage indicated on the type plate of
your power tool. The use of other
batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned
batteries or other makes, increases the risk
of injury and damage to property by
exploding batteries.
 Recharge batteries only with chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery may create a fire hazard when used
with another battery.
 The battery may be damaged by pointed
objects such as e.g. nails or screwdrivers
or by external application of force. This
may give rise to an internal short circuit,
causing the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
 Before carrying out any work on the
power tool, move the direction
preselector switch to the middle position.
 Operate the direction preselector switch
or torque setting turning dial only when
the tool is stopped.
 Identify the power tool with stickers only.
Do not drill any holes into the housing.
