Safety and Accident prevention
• Caution: The machine can begin to operate immediately when the ON/OFF
switch is activated
• When replacing drill bit or battery, as well as for transport and storage, always
set the rotation direction switch to the centre position (lock off)
• Use caution when inserting long screws – danger of slippage
• Always remove battery before working on machine
• Do not leave any tool keys in place. The chuck key should always be kept in
the holder provided on the cable sleeve
Equipment Protection
• Before use, ensure that the battery is properly secured in the drill
• Do not place excess loads on the drill, to the point where it will cease turning
• Change rotational direction only when the drill is not moving
• Use only factory recommended accessories and replacement parts
• Battery should be protected against impact. Do not open battery. Store battery
in a dry place and away from freezing cold
• Battery and charger are specifically designed for use in conjunction with one
another. Charging should be performed exclusively with the charger
• Do not expose battery to heat or flames. Danger of explosion! Do not place the
battery on a heater or expose to direct sunlight for long periods. Allow warm
battery to cool before charging
• When the battery is outside the drill, cover the contacts to avoid short circuits
(for example, from tools.)
• Avoid repeated consecutive rapid charges of the battery. Do not recharge after
using only briefly (eg for 5 minutes.)
• Never discharge the battery completely. Recharge it occasionally if not used for
a prolonged period
