tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe 
injury within a fraction of asecond.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) 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 
wasdesigned.
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 berepaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from 
the power tool before making any adjustments, 
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such 
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 
power toolaccidentally.
d ) 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 untrainedusers.
e ) 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 damaged, have the power 
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by 
poorly maintained powertools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 
likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g ) 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 hazardoussituation.
h ) 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 unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the 
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type 
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 
another batterypack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated 
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create 
a risk of injury andfire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, 
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can 
make a connection from one terminal to another. 
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns 
or afire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact 
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid 
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid 
ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or 
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit 
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk 
ofinjury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature 
above 130 °C may causeexplosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature 
range specified in the instructions. Charging 
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range 
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. 
6) 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 ismaintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service 
of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for 
Screwdrivers
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when 
performing an operation where the fastener may 
contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire 
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and 
could give the operator an electricshock.
• Wear ear protectors with screwdrivers. Exposure to noise 
can cause hearingloss.
• Bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when 
touchingthem.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations 
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks 
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot 
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
 chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be 
as easy as possible tooperate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. 
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the 
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of 
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your 
 charger is double insulated in 
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire 
isrequired.
