5 Safety instructions
NOTE
The safety rules in section 5.1 contain all general safety rules for power tools
which, in accordance with the applicable standards, require to be listed in
the operating instructions. Accordingly, some of the rules listed may not be
relevant to this tool.
5.1 General power tool safety warnings
a) WARNING
Read all safety warnings and 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.
5.1.1 Work area safety
a) Keep 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.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
5.1.2 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.
Printed: 30.09.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5071630 / 000 / 02

en
9
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 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.
e) 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.
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.
5.1.3 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. Amoment

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 the battery
pack 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 tool accidentally.
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
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. 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 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 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.
5.1.5 Battery tool use and care

b) Always hold the power tool securely with both hands on the grips
provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
c) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands
and exercising your fingers during breaks between working.
d) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after
bringing it into position at the workpiece. Touching rotating parts,
especially rotating insert tools, may lead to injury.
e) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch in the middle
position) before storing or transporting the power tool.
f) The power tool is not intended for use by children, by debilitated
persons or those who have received no instruction or training.
g) Children must be instructed not to play with the power tool.
h) WARNING: Some dust created by grinding, sanding, cutting and
drilling contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects,
infertility or other reproductive harm; or serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks, concrete
and other masonry products and natural stone, arsenic and chromium
from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce exposure
Printed: 30.09.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5071630 / 000 / 02

en
12
to these chemicals, the operator and bystanders should work in a
well-ventilated area, work with approved safety equipment, such as
respiratory protection appropriate for the type of dust generated,
and designed to filter out microscopic particles and direct dust
away from the face and body. Avoid prolonged contact with dust.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or to remain on your
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
5.3.2 Electric tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the work-
piece. The workpiece is thus held more securely than by hand and both
hands remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible with the chuck
system and that they are secured in the chuck correctly.
c) Large and heavy insert tools must only be operated in first gear.
There is otherwise a risk that the tool will be damaged when it is switched
off or, under unfavorable conditions, the chuck might be detached.
5.3.3 Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or fire. This presents
a risk of explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batteries and do not sub-
ject them to temperatures over 80°C (176°F). A risk of fire, explosion
or injury through contact with caustic substances may otherwise result.
d) Avoid ingress of dampness.Dampness may cause a short circuit
resulting in a risk of burning injury or fire.
e) Do not use batteries other than those approved for use with the
applicable power tool or appliance. Use of other batteries or use of
the battery for purposes for which it is not intended presents a risk of
fire and explosion.
f) Observe the special instructions applicable to the transport, storage
and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Check that the terminals on the
