2.4 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶ Tampering with or modification of the tool is not permitted.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands
and exercising your fingers during breaks between working.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) integrated in the
drill/driver and do not direct the light at other persons' faces. This
presents a risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶ Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after
bringing it into position at the workpiece. Touching rotating parts,
especially rotating drill bits or other accessory tools, may lead to injury.
▶ Wear protective gloves. The drill/driver may get hot during use. There is
a risk of injury (cutting or burning) if the accessory tool is touched while
changing it.
▶ Activate the safety lock (forward/reverse selector switch in the middle
position) when changing accessory tools or batteries and before storage
or transportation of the power tool.
▶ The power tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who
have received no special training. Keep the power tool out of reach
of children.
▶ Dust from materials, such as paint containing lead, some wood species,
concrete / masonry / stone containing silica, and minerals as well as
metal, may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases to the operator
or bystanders.
such as oak and beech dust, especially in conjunction with additives for
wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos may be handled only by specialists. Use a dust removal
system whenever possible. To achieve a high level of dust collection,
use a suitable vacuum cleaner. When indicated wear a respirator
appropriate for the type of dust generated. Ensure that the workplace
is well ventilated. Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
▶ Before beginning the work, check the hazard classification of the
dust that will be produced. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with
an officially approved protection classification in compliance with
locally applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Working on the material may cause it to splinter. Wear eye protection.
Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ Always hold the tool securely by the grip. If the accessory tool (e.g.
the drill bit) sticks and stalls, the power tool, due to its high torque, may
tend to rotate about its own axis in the direction opposite to that of the
accessory tool.
