f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg-
es are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situ-
ation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suita-
ble 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 des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat-
tery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
Hold the machine firmly with both hands while
working and provide for secure footing. The ma-
chine is more securely guided with both hands.
Secure the work piece. A work piece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely
than by hand.
Do not work with materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can devel-
op during working that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive. Example: Some dusts
are regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and
work with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Material mixtures are
especially dangerous. Light metal dust can burn or ex-
plode.
Wait until the machine has come to a standstill be-
fore placing it down. The insertion tool can become
caught and lead to loss of control over the machine.
Before all work on the machine itself (e.g., main-
tenance, tool replacement, etc.) as well as when
it is being transported or stored, place the direc-
tion of rotation switch in the middle position. For
unintentional actuating of the on/off switch, the danger
of injury exists.
Do not open the battery. The danger of a short cir-
cuit exists.

2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
English–2
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 con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with wa-
ter.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the safe-
ty of the power tool is maintained.
Protect the battery from heat, for example, also
the continuous exposure to sun radiation and
fire. The danger of explosion exists.
Do not short-circuit the battery. The danger of ex-
plosion exists.
In case of damage to and/or improper handling
of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide
for fresh air and consult a Doctor if breathing dis-
comfort occurs. The vapours can irritate the respi-
ratory tract.
Wear hearing protection. The noise can cause loss
of hearing.
Always use the auxiliary handle provided with the
machine. The loss of control over the machine can re-
sult in injuries.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local
utility company for assistance. Contacting electric
lines may cause fire or electric shock. Striking a gas
line may result in explosion. Breaking into a water pipe
will cause property damage.
Overload Clutch
If the insertion tool becomes caught or jammed, the
drive to the drill spindle is interrupted. As a result of the
forces that occur, always hold the machine firmly
with both hands and provide for secure footing.
