2 Safety
2.1 Safety instructions
The safety rules given in the following section contain all general safety rules for electric 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.
2.1.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.
Work area safety
▶Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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.
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 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.
▶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
▶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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
▶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 energising 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 overreach. 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 and clothing 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
▶Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 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 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 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 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, 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.
▶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 unexpected situations.
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.
2.1.2 Drill/driver safety warnings
▶Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.1.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶Use the product only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece in work that involves breaking
through. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
Printed: 22.10.2018 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5135921 / 000 / 02

4 English
▶Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and light respiratory
protection while using the tool.
▶Always activate the safety lock before changing accessory tools, before storing the electric tool or before
transporting it.
▶Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶Before beginning the work, check the hazard classification of the dust that will be produced. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶Use a dust removal system and suitable vacuum cleaner whenever possible. Dust from materials, such
as paint containing lead, some wood species, concrete/masonry/stone containing silica, and minerals as
well as metal, may be harmful.
▶Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as
carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos may be handled only by specialists.
▶Take breaks between working and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous
system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool may give you an electric shock if you damage an electric cable
accidentally.
Careful handling and use of power tools
▶Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped in a vice or secured by some other clamping device is more
secure than when held only by hand.
▶Switch the power tool off if the accessory tool sticks and stalls. The power tool may be deflected laterally.
▶Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.

4.2 Noise information and vibration values
The sound pressure and vibration values given in these instructions have been measured in accordance
with a standardized test and may be used to compare one electric tool with another. They may be used
for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The data given represents the main applications of the electric
tool. However, if the electric tool is used for different applications, with different accessory tools, or is poorly
maintained, the data may vary. This may significantly increase exposure over the total working period. An
accurate estimation of exposure should also take into account the times when the power tool is switched
off, or when it is running but not actually being used for a job. This may significantly reduce exposure over
the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of noise
and/or vibration, for example: maintenance of the electric tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm,
organization of work patterns.
