If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liq-
uid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Safety Warnings for Drills and
Screwdrivers
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and fasteners con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if util-
ity 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 explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage.
Switch off the power tool immediately when
the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high reac-
tion 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.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
