GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifica-
tions 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 ground-
ed 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 operat-
ing 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 and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
2

ignated 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 connec-
tion 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.
▶Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour result-
ing in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
▶Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130゚
C may cause explosion .
▶Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
Service
▶Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
▶Never service damaged battery packs.Ser-
vice of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SCREWDRIVERS
▶Do not use a screwdriver as a pry bar,
chisel, punch or hammer. Broken screw-
driver can cause injury.
▶Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
▶Hold the machine with a firm grip. High
reaction torque can briefly occur while driving in and
loosening screws.
▶Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
▶Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down.
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 detach-
able, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing 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 danger-
ous 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 condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s opera-
tion. 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 instruc-
tions, taking into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intend-
ed 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.
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.
▶Use power tools only with specifically des-
3

The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over
the power tool.
▶
Before any work on the machine (e. g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rotation-
al direction switch to the center position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the switch can lead to injuries.
▶Protect the battery against heat, e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water, and moisture. Failure to do so may result in
an explosion.
▶In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the
area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The
vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
▶This product contains a lithium battery.
