Warning! When you are using electric hand tools the included safety instructions
should be followed to avoid risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Read the
entire instruction manual before using the product and keep it for future reference.
Always pull the plug out of the wall socket before servicing and adjusting the product.
1. Safety
General safety instructions for cordless power tools
Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to adhere to the following instructions may lead
to electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tools” in the warning text
below refers to your handheld mains operated or battery operated tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The work area
• Keep the work area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas
invite accidents.
• Do not use electrical power tools in explosive environments, e.g. close to
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can easily
ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep children and other bystanders away from the area where you are using
the power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose your concentration and control.
Electrical safety
• The power tool’s plug must fit correctly into the wall socket. Never modify
the plug in any way. Never use an adaptor together with earthed power tools.
Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets decrease the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid physical contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, ovens or
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose the power tool to rain or other wet conditions. If water gets inside
a power tool it increases the risk of electric shock.

4
ENGLISH
• Do not abuse the lead. Never use the lead to carry the tool or pull the plug from
the wall socket. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and movable parts.
Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
• When using power tools outdoors, use an extension lead that is suitable for
this purpose. Use of an extension lead designed for outdoor use decreases
the risk for electric shock.
• 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
• Pay attention to your actions and use common sense when using power tools.
Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of inattention while using a power tool may result
in serious injury.
• Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective clothing
such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders when
needed decreases the risk of injury.
• Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF before
plugging the tool into a wall socket. Never carry a power tool with your finger on
the trigger and never connect the power tool to a wall socket when the switch is
set to ON, since it may result in injury.
• Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the power tool. A service tool
left on a moving part of the power tool may result in injury.
• Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and well balanced at all times.
This will allow you to have more control in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes, jewellery or
long hair could become caught in moving parts.
• If equipment for dust extraction or collection is available, make sure that it is
connected and used properly. The use of extractors decreases dust related hazards.
Use and maintenance of power tools
• Do not force the power tool. Use a power tool suitable for the work you are about
to perform. The proper power tool will perform the task better and safer if used at
the correct feed rate.
• Never use the power tool if the power switch does not switch the tool on and
off properly. All power tools that cannot be controlled by the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the lead from the wall socket before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the power tool. These precautions reduce the risk of the
power tool starting unexpectedly.

5
ENGLISH
• Store any power tools that are not being used out of children’s reach. Do not allow
people who are unfamiliar with the tool or its functions to operate the tool.
Power tools can be dangerous if they fall into the hands of inexperienced users.
• Maintaining power tools. Check for any incorrect settings, parts that catch,
broken parts or anything else which may cause the power tool to malfunction.
If something is damaged it must be repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp blades
are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and similar according to the instructions and
in an appropriate way suitable for the type of power tool used. Also take into
consideration your work environment and the type of work to be done. Using the
power tool for a purpose other than that for which it is intended could result in a
dangerous situation.
Use and service of cordless electrical hand tools
• Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF before attaching the battery.
Attaching a battery to an electrical hand tool when the power switch set to ON
is inviting an accident.
• Only charge the battery using a charger approved by the manufacturer. A charger
suitable for one type of battery can constitute a fire hazard if used for another type
of battery.
• Only use the rechargeable electric hand tool with batteries intended for that purpose.
The use of other types of batteries might cause damage or fire.
• When not in use, the battery should be stored away from other metal objects such
as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or any small objects that could bridge the
gap between the battery terminals. Short circuiting the battery terminals can cause
burns or fires.
• If the battery is mistreated, it may leak acid; avoid contact with this acid. If you
accidentally come into contact with the acid, rinse the area with water. If the acid
comes into contact with your eyes, consult a doctor. Battery acid can cause
irritation and burns.
Service
• Repairs and service should only be performed by qualified tradesmen, and only with
original spare parts. This guarantees that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ENGLISH
Specific safety regulations for cordless power tools
• Use only the charger supplied with the product. The charger is only intended for
indoor use.
• Allow a hot battery to cool off before starting to charge it. The temperature when
charging should be between 0 °C and 40 °C, (20–25 °C is recommended for
best results).
• If the battery is charged at a temperature below 0 °C it may lead to overcharging
which may damage the tool. The battery cannot be charged in temperatures
above 40 °C. The battery gives full power after 5 charges/discharges.
• Allow the charger to cool off for 15 minutes before charging the next battery. Do not
charge more than 2 batteries in succession without allowing the charger to cool.
• Make sure that no foreign objects get inside the tool through the battery opening.
Avoid short-circuits; cover the battery terminals with an insulating material if
the battery is stored separately.
• Never dismantle the rechargeable battery or the charger.
• Make sure that the rechargeable battery does not short-circuit; it may damage
the battery and lead to personal injury if the battery explodes.
• The battery can explode if it is exposed to fire or high heat. Never throw the battery
into a fire. Never expose the battery to strong sunlight.
• Check before drilling floors, ceilings, or walls, that there are no hidden electric cables,
water pipes or anything else that may be damaged. Use e.g. a metal detector.
• Always lock the forward/reverse selector before changing drill bits.
