• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
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 can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
• 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained 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,
taking 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.
• 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 tool in unex-
pected situations.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Safety notes for drills
• Wear ear defenders when hammer drilling.
The effects of noise can result in a loss of hearing.
• Use the additional handles supplied with the
device. Losing control may cause injuries.
• Hold the device by the insulated surfaces
when carrying out work during which it is pos-
sible that the tool or screw may come across
hidden power cables or its own cable. Con-
tact with a cable that carries power will subject the
metal parts of the device to current and will lead to
electrical shock.
Additional safety notes
• Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to
determine whether there are any hidden sup-
ply lines are located on the area you are work-
ing in. If in doubt, ask the relevant supply ser-
vices. Contact with power lines may cause fire
and electrical shock. Damaging a gas pipe may
cause an explosion. Damaging a water pipe leads
to considerable property damage and may cause
electrical shock.
• Wait until the power tool has come to a stand-
still before you put it down. The inserted tool
may otherwise jam and cause a loss of control
over the power tool.
• Secure the work piece. Use tensioning equip-
ment or a vice to secure the work piece to help
prevent kickback or uncontrolled flying of the work
piece (e.g. when getting jammed in the work
piece).
• Immediately switch off the power tool when
the inserted tool becomes blocked. Be pre-
pared for high responses instances in the
event of kickback. The inserted tool will jam
when the power tool is overloaded or tilted within
the work piece.
• Never use the power tool with a damaged
cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Prevent overheating of the device and the
work piece. Excess heat may damage the tool
and the device.
• Shortly after being used, the tool may be very
hot. Allow a hot tool to cool down. Touching a
hot tool may cause burns.
• Never clean a hot tool with flammable liquids.
There is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slip-
pery handles can lead to accidents.
• When working, hold the power tool firmly with
both hands and ensure you have a stable foot-
ing. The power tool can be guided in a safer fash-
ion when you use two hands.
