Safety Warnings for Drills and Screwdrivers
 Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
 Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
 Use suitable 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 explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
 Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool
insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that
can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
– the power tool is subject to overload or
– it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
 Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or
less.

Noise/Vibration Information
Sound emission values determined according to
EN 60745-1, EN 60745-2-1, EN 60745-2-2.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
Sound pressure level 94 dB(A); Sound power level
105.5 dB(A). Uncertainty K =3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values a (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K
h
determined according to EN 60745-2-1:

Drilling into metal: a =7.5 m/s , K=1.5 m/s
h
Impact drilling into concrete: a =10.5 m/s
h
Screwdriving without impact: a <2.5 m/s

The vibration level given in this information sheet has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main appli-
cations of the tool. However if the tool is used for different ap-
plications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total working
period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signif-
icantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from
the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the acces-
sories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
