Safety instructions
General Safety Instructions
Caution! Read all instructions. The non-observation of the instructions
mentioned below may cause an electric shock, fire and/or severe injuries. The
term “electric tool” mentioned below refers to mains-operated electric tools
(with a power cord) and to rechargeable electric tools (without power cord).
Keep these instructions for use in a safe place.
1) Workplace
(a) Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Untidy and badly illuminated work
areas may lead to accidents.
(b) Do not operate this machine in potentially explosive environments
containing combustible liquids, gases or dusts. Electric tools send out
sparks which may ignite dust or vapours.
(c) Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool during use.
When distracted, you may lose control over the apparatus.
2) Electric safety
(a) The plug of the machine has to be suitable for the socket. The connector
may not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug together
with earthed devices. Unchanged connectors and fitting sockets reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
(b) Avoid body contact to earthed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, stoves and
refrigerators. There is a higher risk of an electric shock, if your body is
earthed.
(c) Keep the machine clear of rain or humidity. The penetration of water into
an electrical device increases the risk of an electric shock.
(d) Do not use the cable for unintended purposes, to carry or suspend the
machine or to pull the connector out of the socket. Keep the cable clear
of heat, oil, sharp edges or any moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
(e) When using an electric tool in the open, use an extension cable only
which has been approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable
suitable for use in the open will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Always use an RCD (redicual circuit device or circuit breaker).
3) Personal safety
(a) Please pay attention and watch what you are doing, and carry out the
work with the electric tool sensibly. Do not use the machine, when you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicine. A moment of
carelessness in the use of the machine could lead to serious injuries.

CDM6100 Ma-GB-IRE # 0808-15.indd 8 15-08-2008 09:51:10

Safety instructions
(b) Wear your safety equipment and always put on safety goggles. Wearing
personal protective gear, such as a dust mask, anti-skid safety shoes, hard
hat and ear protection, depending on the use of the electric tool, will
reduce the risk of injury.
(c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF”
position before you remove the plug from the socket. If you have your
finger on the switch when carrying the machine or if you connect the
running machine to the socket, this may lead to accidents.
(d) Remove the adjusting tools or the spanners before switching on the
machine. A tool or a key which is located in a revolving part of the
machine may lead to injuries.
(e) Concentrate and keep your balance at all times as you will be able to
control the machine better in unexpected situations.
(f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves clear of any moving parts.
(g) If dust extraction or collection devices can be mounted, make sure that
they are connected properly and are used in the proper way. The use of
these pieces of equipment reduce hazards caused by dust.
4) Careful handling and use of electric tools
(a) Use the correct tool for the job at hand.
(b) Do not use an electric tool, if the switch is defective. An electric tool,
which cannot be switched on or off, is dangerous and has to be repaired.
(c) Remove the plug from the socket before setting down the machine,
changing accessories or putting the machine aside. This precautionary
measure prevents the unintentional start of the machine.
(d) Keep unused electric tools out of reach of children. Do not permit persons
to use the machine who are not familiar with it or who have not read
these instructions. Electric tools are dangerous, if they are used by an
inexperienced person.
(e) Maintain the machine with care. Please check whether the movable parts
are perfectly operational and do not jam, whether parts have broken or
have been damaged in such a way that the function of the machine is
impaired. Have damaged parts repaired prior to using the machine. Many
accidents are caused by electric tools which are poorly maintained.
(f) Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean.
(g)Use the electric tool, the accessories, the insert tools, etc according to these
instructions, and in the way described for this special type of apparatus. In
the process, take the working conditions and the work to be carried out into
consideration. Only use this tool for the purpose for which it is intended.

Safety instructions
(h) Use clamps or vice to hold work. It is safer then using your hands and
frees both hands to operate the tool.
5) Servicing
(a) Have your machine repaired by qualified expert staff using original spare
parts only.
(b) Caution! The use of accessories or add-on devices other than those
recommended in these instructions may mean a risk of injury. Use original
spare parts only.
Additional Safety Instructions
1. Only use the accumulator block with the battery charger provided – using
other chargers could be dangerous.
2. Keep the accumulator block, tool and battery charger away from damp
and wet conditions.
3. Before using the battery charger, check all wires are properly connected.
4. If any wires on the charger are damaged, do not use it until these have
been replaced.
5. When the charger is not in use it should not be plugged in. When
unplugging, do not pull the plug out by the cable.
6. If the charger breaks down or suffers from other technical problems, take
it to a recognised dealership to be checked before using it again. Any
damaged parts must be replaced.
7. Take care when handling the accumulator block, do not drop it or knock
it against other things.
8. Never attempt to repair the battery charger or accumulator block yourself
as this can be extremely dangerous. Repairs should always be carried out
by a recognised dealership.
9. Always unplug the charger before cleaning or carrying out any other
maintenance on it.
10. Do not attempt to charge the accumulator block in temperatures of
below 5 °C or above 40 °C.
11. Never throw the accumulator block into water or a fire – it may explode.
12. Turn the screwdriver immediately off after the screw is fastened.
Overloading and damaging the battery or motor can be prevented this
way. Use the torque to loosen the fastened screw.

Charging the Lithium-Ion battery
Fig. 10
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Lithium-ion battery installed
in the machine. Do not use another battery charger.
The Lithium-ion battery is protected against excessive discharging. When the
battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit:
the tool holder no longer rotates. Caution: if the On/Off switch is subject to
continued use, the Lithium-ion battery can be damaged.
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of the battery
charger is inserted into the socket and the adapter plug is connected to the
appliance (the underside of the handgrip).
