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.
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
▶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.
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 battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Printed: 30.04.2019 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5351688 / 000 / 03

4 English 2173713 *2173713*
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 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.
▶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.
Battery tool use and care
▶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 battery pack.
Printed: 30.04.2019 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5351688 / 000 / 03

*2173713* 2173713 English 5
▶Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
▶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 a
fire.
▶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 or burns.
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 Hammer safety warnings
▶Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
▶Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring..
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.3 Additional safety instructions for breakers
Personal safety
▶Use the product only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶When chiseling into ceilings, walls and floors, always make sure that you
have a safe and firm stance. A sudden break-through can affect your
balance!
▶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.
▶You and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye pro-
tection, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and respiratory
protection while the tool is in use.
▶Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching
the accessory tool can result in cuts and burns.
▶Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be pro-
duced when working. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially
approved protection class in compliance with the locally applicable dust
Printed: 30.04.2019 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5351688 / 000 / 03

6 English 2173713 *2173713*
protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint,
certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz,
minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶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 among operators 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 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
can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you accidentally
damage an electric cable.
Careful handling and use of electric tools
▶Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.

3.3 Possible misuse
• This product is not suitable for working on hazardous materials.
• This product is not suitable for working in a damp environment.
3.4 ATC
The power tool is equipped with the ATC (Active Torque Control) quick-
acting electronic cut-out.
If the accessory tool sticks or stalls, the power tool will suddenly pivot about
its own axis in the opposite direction. ATC detects this sudden pivoting
movement of the power tool and switches the tool off immediately.
For ATC to function correctly, the power tool must be free to pivot.
After the power tool has cut out due to ATC, switch it back on again by
releasing the control switch for a moment and then pressing the switch
again.

The tool is equipped with a motor protection system. The system monitors
current input and motor temperature and thus prevents the tool from
overheating.
If the motor is overloaded through application of excessive working pressure,
the power tool’s performance drops noticeably or it may stall completely.
If the power tool stalls or slows significantly due to overloading, release the
pressure applied to the tool and then allow it to run under no load for approx.
30 seconds.
