4. Careful handling and use of electrical power
tools
a) Do not overload the device. Always use an
electrical power tool that is intended for the
task you are undertaking. By using the right
electrical power tool for the job you will work more
safely and achieve a better result.
b) Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch
is defective. An electrical power tool that can no
longer be switched on and off is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug from the socket before you
make any adjustments to the device, change
accessories or when the device is put away.
This precaution is intended to prevent you from
unintentionall starting the device.
d) When not in use always ensure that electrical
power tools are kept out of reach of children.
Do not let anyone use the device if he or she
is not familiar with it or has not read the in-
structions and advice. Electrical power tools
are dangerous when they are used by inexperi-
enced people.
e) Look after the device carefully. Check that
moving parts are working properly and move
freely. Check for any parts that are broken
or damaged enough to detrimentally affect
the functioning of the device. Have damaged
parts repaired before you use the device.
Many accidents have their origins in poorly main-
tained electrical power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, accessories,
inserted tools etc. in accordance with these
instructions and advice, and the stipulations
drawn up for this particular type of device. In
doing this, take into account the working con-
ditions and the task in hand. The use of elec-
trical power tools for purposes other than those
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
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 power tool in un-
expected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists only, and always use original
spare parts for repair. This is to maintain the
safety of the power tool.

Safety instructions specifically for impact screw-
drivers
• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the screw or attached tool could come into
contact with hidden wiring. Contact between the
screw or attached tool and a live wire may cause
exposed metal parts of the power tool to become
live and give the operator an electric shock.
• 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 standstill
before putting it down.
• The tool can jam, this leading to loss of control of
the power tool.
6. Additional Safety Warnings
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair ac-
tive or passive medical implants under certain condi-
tions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manu-
facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
electric tool.

Careful handling and use of battery devices
•
Charge the batteries only in chargers that are
recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire
if a charger that is suitable for a specific type of
battery is used with other batteries.
•
In the power tools, use only the batteries de-
signed for the purpose. The use of other batter-
ies may result in injuries and risk of fire.
•
Keep the unused battery away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could cause bridging of
the contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or fire.
