any time. Specifications, accessories,
models and product availability may
vary from one country to another.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical safety
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.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of

clothing and gloves 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
these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
4. 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 before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children 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
tools 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Always use tool in conjunction with a
residual circuit breaker device. The
use of a residual circuit breaker device
reduced the risk of electric shock
3. Personal safety
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.
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging
in 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 over reach. 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,

power tool, 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.
5. 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.
6. Safety warnings for chargers
Keep the Charger away from rain or
moisture. Penetration of water in
the Charger increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Only charge the Screwdriver
DSD-46FL-2-BLU in the Charger
marked DSDC-46FL-2-BLU.
Keep the Charger clean.
Contamination can lead to danger of
an electric shock
Before each use, check the Charger,
cable and plug. If damage is detected
do not use the Charger. Never
open the Charger yourself. Have
repairs performed only by a qualified
technician and only using original
spare parts. Damaged charger, cables
and plugs increase the risk of an
electric shock.
Do not operate the Charger on easily
inflammable surfaces (e.g. Paper
textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The
heating of the Charger during the
charging process can pose a fire
hazard.
Supervise children. This will ensure
hat children do not play with the
Charger.
Children or persons that owing to
their physical, sensory or mental
limitations or to their lack of
experience or knowledge, are not
capable of securely operating the
Charger, may only use this Charger
under supervision or after having been
instructed by a responsible person.
Otherwise, there is danger of operating
errors and injuries.
