2 Safety
2.1 General power tool safety warnings
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.
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.
Printed: 07.09.2016 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5139844 / 000 / 01

English 3
▶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 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, 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 dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 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.
▶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 tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Printed: 07.09.2016 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5139844 / 000 / 01

▶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.
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.
2.2 Additional safety precautions for screwdrivers
Personal safety
▶Only use the product if it is in perfect working order.
▶Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶Use the auxiliary grip supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips
clean and dry.
▶Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the accessory tool may come into contact with concealed wiring. If the
accessory tool comes into contact with a live wire, metal parts of the power tool may
also become live, causing the operator to receive an electric shock.
▶Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and
light respiratory protection while using the tool.
▶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 starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when
working. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class
in compliance with the locally applicable dust protection regulations. Dust from ma-
terials such as lead-based paint, certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone
containing quartz, minerals or metal may be harmful to health.
▶Make sure that the working area is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a
respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of
dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases to the operator
or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust, such as oak and beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with additives for treating wood (chromate,
wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be handled 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 starting work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and
water pipes. If you damage an electric cable accidentally, external metal parts of the
power tool may become live and present a risk of electric shock.
Careful handling and use of power tools
▶Switch the power tool off immediately if the accessory tool jams. The power tool may
go off course and veer to the side.
▶Wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before setting it down.

4.2 Noise information and vibration values determined in accordance with EN
60745
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 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 accessory tools, keeping the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
