VII. Safety instructions for the cordless
screwdriver
y When working with the cordless screwdriver, hidden electrical or other
utility lines may be hit, which may cause injury or material damages. Hold
the cordless screwdriver by the plastic grip parts as life threatening voltage
may be conducted by the metal parts of the cordless screwdriver and result
in injury or death of the user by electrical shock.
y Use suitable electricity and metal detection devices to identify such hidden
utility lines and if possible identify utility lines from the building plans.
The cordless screwdriver creates an electromagnetic field
during operation, which may negatively affect the operation
of active or passive medical implants (pacemakers) and
threaten the life of the user. Prior to using this power tool,
ask a doctor or the manufacturer of the implant, whether you may work
with this power tool.
y Prior to replacing the work tool, maintenance, when leaving it without
supervision, transport and storage, lock the trigger switch by setting the
rotation direction toggle switch to the middle position to prevent acciden-
tally starting it up.
y Do not use the power tool for a purpose other than that for which it was
designed. Do not modify the tool for different applications.
VIII. Safety instructions for the battery
and charger
y Incorrect handling of the cordless screwdriver may result in electrolyte
leaking from the battery. Prevent electrolyte from coming into contact with
skin. In the event that skin contact does occur, thoroughly wash with water.
In the event of eye contact, thoroughly rinse out with clean water and con-
tact a medical doctor. In the event of ingestion, seek medical help.
y Prevent the charger from being used by persons (including children) whose
physical, sensory or mental disability or incapacity or insufficient experience
or knowledge prevents them from safely using the power tool without

X. General safety instructions for power tools
•
WARNING!
It is necessary to read all the safety instructions, the user's manual,
images and regulations supplied with this power tool. Not adhering to
any of the following instructions may lead to injury by electrical shock, a fire and/or
a serious injury to persons.
All the instructions and the user's manual must be kept for possible
future reference.
The term „power tool" in all hereafter provided warnings is defined as an tool
powered from the power grid (via a power cord) or a tool powered from a battery
(without a power cord / cordless).
1) SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
a) The work area needs to be kept clean, tidy, and well lit.
Untidiness and dark areas in the work area are sources of accidents.
b) The power tool must not be used in environments where there
is an explosion hazard, where there are flammable liquids,
gases or dust. The power tool generates sparks which could ignite dust
or vapours.
c) When using the power tool, it is necessary to prevent children
and other persons access. If the user becomes distracted, they may
lose control over the activity being performed.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) The plug on the power cord must correspond to the power soc-
ket outlet. The power plug must never be modified in anyway.
Socket adapters must not be used with power tools that have
a safety earth grounding connection. Power plugs that are not
damaged by modifications and that correspond to the power socket will
limit the danger of injury by electrical shock.
b) The user's body must not come into contact with grounded
objects, such as pipes, central heating radiators, stoves and
refrigerators. The risk of injury by electrical shock is greater when your
body is in contact with the ground.
c) Power tools must never be exposed to rain, moisture or
wetness. The entry of water into the power tool increases the danger of
injury by electrical shock.
d) The flexible power cord must not be used for any other pur-
poses. Power tools must not be carried or pulled by the power
cord, nor may the power plug be disconnected by pulling on
the power cord. The power cord must be protected against
heat, grease, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled
power cords increase the danger of injury by electrical shock.
e) If the power tool is used outdoors, an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use must be used. Using extension cords designed for
outdoor use, limits the risk of injury by electrical shock.
f) If the power tool is used in damp areas, it is necessary to use
a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD).
The use of an RCD limits the danger of injury by electrical shock.
The term „residual current device (RCD)" may be substituted for by the
term „ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or „earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)".

3) SAFETY OF PEOPLE
a) When using the power tool, the user must be attentive and
pay attention to what they are currently doing and must
concentrate and use common sense. The power tool must not
be used when the user is tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. Momentary inattentiveness when using the
power tool may result in serious injury to persons.
b) Use personal protective aids. Always wear eye protection. Use
protective aids, such as a respirator, safety footwear with anti-slip soles,
hard head cover or hearing protection appropriately to the work conditi-
ons; they reduce the risk of injury to persons.
c) It is essential to avoid accidentally starting the power tool.
It is necessary to check that the trigger is in the Off position
before plugging the power plug into a power socket and/
or when connecting the battery pack, lifting or carrying the
power tool. Carrying the power tool with a finger on the trigger or
connecting the power tool's plug with the switch engaged may cause an
accident.
d) It is necessary to remove all adjustment tools and spanners
before turning on the power tool. An adjustment tool or spanner
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in injury to
persons.
e) The user may only work in locations that they can reach safely.
The user must always maintain a stable stance and balance.
This will provide better control over the power tool in unforeseeable
situations.
f) Dress in an appropriate manner. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. The user must ensure that they have hair and clo-
thing at a sufficient distance from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery and long hair may become caught in the moving parts.
Table 2
g) If there is equipment available for the extraction and collec-
tion of dust, it is necessary that such equipment is connected
and used correctly. The use of such equipment may limit the danger
posed by the created dust.
h) The user must not become complacent and start ignoring the
fundamentals of power tool safety due to the routine arising
from frequent use of the power tool. Careless activity may cause
serious injury within a fraction of a second.
4) OPERATING AND MAINTAINING POWER TOOLS
a) Power tools must not be overloaded. It is necessary to use
power tools that are designed for the work being performed.
Appropriate power tools for a given task will do the job better and with
greater safety.
b) Power tools that cannot be turned on and off with a trigger/
switch must not be used. Any power tools that cannot be controlled
using a trigger/switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Before making any adjustments, replacing accessories or before
storing the power tool, it is necessary to pull the power plug out of the
power socket and/or remove the battery pack out of the power tool, if
it is removable. These preventative safety measures limit the danger of
accidentally starting the power tool.
d) When not used, the power tool must be stored out of chil-
dren's reach, and persons not acquainted with the power tool
or these instructions must not be permitted to use the power
tool. A power tool in the hands of inexperienced users is dangerous.
e) Power tools and accessories need to be maintained. It is
necessary to check the adjustment of moving parts and
their movement; focus on cracks, broken parts or any other
circumstances that may threaten the proper operation of the
power tool. If the power tool is damaged, it is necessary to
have it repaired before using it again. Many accidents are caused
by insufficiently maintained power tools.
f) It is necessary to keep cutting power tools clean and sharp.
Correctly maintained and sharpened cutting power tools are less likely to
get stuck on material or to jam and they are also easier to control.
g) It is necessary to use power tools, accessories, working
tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in such
a manner as prescribed for the specific power tool with
respect to the given work conditions and the type of work
being performed. Using power tools for tasks other than for which
they are designed may lead to dangerous situations.
h) Handles and grip surfaces must be kept dry, clean and free of
grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces do not ensure a safe grip and
control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
