General power tool safety instructions
WARNING Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and
technical details supplied with this power tool. Failure to follow the safety
notices and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or severe
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term ‘power tool’ used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated
power tools (corded) and battery-powered power tools (cordless).

Safety
7
Work area safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. If you are distracted, you could lose control of the power tool.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord for improper purposes such as for carrying
the power tool, for hanging it up or for pulling or unplugging
it from the socket. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use only extension cords
that are suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

Safety
8
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) 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 connecting the power tool to a power supply
while the switch is set to ‘on’ may lead to accidents.
d) 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.
e) Take care to keep a normal body position. Maintain a stable
stance and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If there is an option for installing dust suction devices and dust
containers, these should be attached and used correctly. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and ignore the
safety rules for power tools, even if you are well acquainted with
power tools, having used them frequently. Using power tools
without due care and attention can cause serious injuries in a split
second.
Power tool use and care
a) Do not overload 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the
rechargeable battery from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing insertion tools or storing the power tool.

Safety
9
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not let any
individual who is not familiar with the power tool or who has not
read these instructions operate this power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and insertion tools with care. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If any parts of the power tool are damaged, have them repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and fitted tools 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.
h) Keep handles and handle surfaces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles and handle surfaces will prevent you
from operating and controlling the power tools safely in unforeseen
situations.
Cordless tool use and care
a) Only charge the rechargeable batteries with chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers designed for a
particular rechargeable battery type pose a risk of fire if used with
other types of rechargeable battery.
b) Only use the rechargeable batteries designated for use in power
tools. Using other rechargeable batteries may result in injury and a
risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused rechargeable battery away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metallic objects that
could bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the contacts of
the rechargeable battery could result in burns or fire.

Safety
10
d) If used improperly, liquid may leak out of the rechargeable
battery. Avoid coming into contact with it. Rinse with water in the
event of accidental contact. If liquid comes into contact with your
eyes, also seek medical attention. Fluid leaked from the rechargeable
battery may cause skin irritations or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified rechargeable battery.
Damaged or modified rechargeable batteries can be unpredictable
and may result in fire, an explosion or a risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a rechargeable battery to fire or excessively high
temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130 °C may cause an
explosion.
g) Carefully follow all instructions for charging the battery and never
charge the battery or cordless tool outside of the temperature
range indicated in the instructions. Improper charging or charging
outside of the permitted temperature range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
Service
a) 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.
b) Never perform maintenance on damaged rechargeable batteries.
Only the manufacturer or authorised service companies may perform
maintenance on rechargeable batteries.
Safety instructions for hammers
1) Safety notes for all work
a) Wear ear protection. Noise may cause hearing loss.
b) Use additional handles if they are supplied with the power tool.
Loss of control may cause injury.
c) Hold the device by the insulated handle surfaces when performing
work wherever the fitted tool risks coming into contact with
hidden power lines. Contact with a live wire may send current up
exposed metal parts of the power tool and give the operator an
electric shock.

Safety
11
2) Safety instructions for using the long drill bit with hammer drills
a) Always begin drilling at a lower rotation speed and when the
drill bit makes contact with the workpiece material. Higher rotation
speeds can cause the drill bit to warp slightly if allowed to rotate
freely without any contact to the workpiece material, which can lead
to injury.
b) Do not exert any excess force, and only use the drill in a longitudinal
direction. Drill bits can warp, which can subsequently cause it to
break or the user to lose control and can thus cause injury.
Safety notes for drills
1) Safety notes for all work
a) Wear ear protection when drilling. Noise may cause hearing loss.
b) Use the extra handle(s). Loss of control may cause injury.
c) Make sure the power tool is well supported before using. This
power tower generates high torque. Failure to properly support the
power tool during operation may result in loss of control and injury.
d) Hold the power tool by the insulated handle surfaces when
performing work where there is a risk of the fitted tool or screws
coming into contact with hidden power supply lines. Contact with
a live wire may send current up exposed metal parts of the power
tool and give the operator an electric shock.
2) Safety instructions for using the long drill bit
a) Under no circumstances should you work at a higher rotation
speed than the maximum rotation speed permitted for the drill
bit. Higher rotation speeds can cause the drill bit to warp slightly if
allowed to rotate freely without any contact to the workpiece material,
which can lead to injury.
b) Always begin drilling at a lower rotation speed and when the
drill bit makes contact with the workpiece material. Higher rotation
speeds can cause the drill bit to warp slightly if allowed to rotate
freely without any contact to the workpiece material, which can lead
to injury.
c) Do not exert any excess force, and only use the drill in a longitudinal
direction. Drill bits can warp, which can subsequently cause it to
break or the user to lose control and can thus cause injury.

force.
