the intervening periods of time when the device is
switched off or is running but is not actually in use.
This can result in a much lower vibration load over
the whole of the period of working.
General safety advice
for electrical power tools
WARNING!Read all the safety advice
and instructions! Failure to observe the safety
advice and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
KEEP ALL THE SAFETY ADVICE AND INSTRUCTIONS
IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
1.Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and
well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.
b) Do not work with the device
in potentially explosive en-
vironments in which there
are inflammable liquids, gases or
dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks,
which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other
people away while you are
operating the electrical tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of
the device.
2.Electrical safety
To avoid danger to life from
electric shock:
a)
The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Do not use
an adapter plug with devices fitted
with a protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed
.
c) Keep the device away from
rain or moisture. Water entering
an electrical device increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the mains lead for
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device. Damaged or tangled mains leads
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an electri-
cal power tool always use extension ca-
bles that are also approved for use out-
doors. The use of an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Use a residual current device (RCD)
for protection if operating the electrical
power tool in a moist environment is
unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution. Do not use the device if

9GB/IE/CY
General safety advice for electrical power tools
you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. One
moment of carelessness when using the device
can lead to serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear
safety glasses. The wearing of
personal protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or
ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec-
trical power tool used and work undertaken,
reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Check that the electrical pow-
er tool is switched off before you
connect it to the mains, pick it up or
carry it. Accidents can happen if you carry
the device with your finger on the ON/OFF
switch or with the device switched on.
d) Remove any setting tools or span-
ners before you switch the device on.
A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating
part of a device can lead to injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. By doing this
you will be in a better position to control the
device in unforeseen circumstances.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted do not forget to
check that they are properly connected
and correctly used. The use of these de-
vices reduces the hazard presented by dust.
4.Careful handling and use of
electrical power tools
a)Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under-
taking. By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.
b)Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective. An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)Pull the mains plug out of the socket
before you make any adjustments to
the device, change accessories or
when the device is put away. This pre-
caution is intended to prevent you from uninten-
tionally starting the device.
d)When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not fa-
miliar with it or has not read the
instructions and advice. Electrical power
tools are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced people.
e)Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their ori-
gins in poorly maintained electrical power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, acces-
sories, inserted tools etc. in accord-
ance with these instructions and
advice, and the stipulations drawn
up for this particular type of device.
In doing this, take into account the
working conditions and the task in
hand. The use of electrical power tools for
purposes other than those intended can lead to
dangerous situations.

10 GB/IE/CY
General safety advice for electrical power tools
5. Careful handling and use of
rechargeable devices
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit
using only the charger recommended
by the manufacturer. Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable
battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other
types of rechargeable battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool. The use of other recharge-
able battery units may lead to the danger of
injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from
paperclips, coins, keys. nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could
cause the contacts to be bridged. Short-
circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery
unit may result in heat damage or fire.
d) WARNING!Fluids may leak out of
rechargeable battery units if they are
misused. If this happens, avoid contact
with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush
the affected area with water. Seek
additional medical help if any of the
fluid gets into your eyes. Escaping battery
fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
Safety advice relating
to cordless drill drivers
JSecurely support the workpiece. A workpiece
held in a clamp or vice is kept more securely in
place than one held by your hand.
WARNING!POISONOUS DUSTS!
JHarmful / noxious dusts generated from your
work represent a risk to the health of the person
operating the device and to anyone near the
work area.
Wear safety glasses and a dust
mask!
JDo not drill any material containing
asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
JHold the electrical power tool firmly.
High reaction torques may occur momentarily
during tightening or loosening of screws.
JIf the inserted tool jams, switch off the
electrical power tool immediately. Be
prepared for high reaction torques as they may
cause kickback. The inserted tool may jam if
the electrical power tool is overloaded or is
held at an angle to the workpiece.
WARNING!The inserted tool may
strike concealed electricity cables,
therefore when working you must
hold the electrical power tool by the
insulated handle areas only. Contact
with a live wire means that the metal parts of
the electrical power tools may become live and
this can result in an electric shock.
JBefore you carry out any tasks on the
device, transport or store it, make
sure that the direction of rotation
switch is in the middle position (lock).
To prevent the device from starting up uninten-
tionally.
QAttention - Service lines!
cDANGER!
Take steps to ensure that you do not
hit upon any service lines (electricity,
gas, water) when working with elec-
trical appliances. Check, if need be with a
service line detector, before you start to cut or
bore into a surface.
QOriginal ancillaries /
accessories

located centrally in the chuck.
jScrew bits are designated with their dimensions
and their shape. If you are unsure, always try
the particular screw bit out to see whether it sits
in the screw head without any free play.
Torque:
jSmaller screws and bits in particular can be
easily damaged if you adjust the appliance
with too high a torque and/or rotation speed.

13GB/IE/CY
Preparing the tool for use/ Cleaning and Maintenance / Disposal
Hard screw bed:
jParticularly high torques can occur, for example
with metal screws tightened by socket tool bits.
Select a lower rotation speed.
Soft screw bed:
j You should also select a low speed in order not
to damage the wood workpiece surface through
contact with the metal screw head. Use a coun-
tersinker.
When drilling into wood, metal and other
materials, take note of the following advice:
jWith small diameter drill bits use a high drill
speed. For large diameter drill bits, use a low
drill speed.
jFor hard materials, select a low drill speed.
For soft materials, select a high drill speed.
jSecure or fix down the workpiece (if possible)
in a clamp or vice.
jMark the intended position of the hole with a
centre punch or a nail and select a low drill speed
for drilling.
jTake the rotating drill bit out of the hole frequently
so that swarf or drill dust can be re-moved and
the hole and tool is ventilated.
Drilling in metal:
jUse a metal drill bit (HSS). For the best results,
you should cool the bit with oil. Metal drill bits
can also be used to drill into plastic.
Drilling in stone:
jUse a circular shafted masonry drill bit with a
hardened metal tip.
Drilling in wood:
jNormally you should use a wood drill with a
centring point. For deep holes, use an auger type
bit. For large diameter holes, use a forstner bit.
