Safety instructions for all operations
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
1.
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
6. Do not touch the drill bit, the workpiece or
chips immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
7. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
8. If the drill bit cannot be loosened even you
open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out. In such a
case, pulling out the drill bit by hand may result in
injury by its sharp edge.
9. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than the max-
1.
imum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
2. Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
3. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.

ductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-
tainer with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water
or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow, over-
heating, possible burns and even a breakdown.

fire, excessive heat, or explosion.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to
the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
For commercial transports e.g. by third parties,
forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-
aging and labeling must be observed.
For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an
