fore use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping sur-
faces 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.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger spe-
cified 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) 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 termin-
als together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool
to fire or excessive temperature. Ex-
posure to fire or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and
do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range spe-
cified in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6. SERVICE
a) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or au-
thorized service providers.
Safety information for impact
drills
Safety instructions for all operations
• Wear ear protectors when impact
drilling. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
• Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of con-
trol can cause personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting accessory or
fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessories or fasteners contact-
ing a "live" wire may make exposed met-
al parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill
bits
• Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend
if allowed to rotate freely without contact-
ing the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
• Always start drilling at low speed and
with the bit tip in contact with the
workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is
likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, result-
ing in personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with
the bit and do not apply excessive
pressure. Bits can bend causing break-
age or loss of control, resulting in person-
al injury.
