Original instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

We hereby declare that these cordless drills/
screwdrivers and impact drills, identified by type
and serial number *1), meet all relevant
requirements of directives *2) and standards *3).
Technical documents for *4) - see page 3.

2. Specified Conditions of Use

The drills and impact drills are suitable for drilling in
metal, wood, plastic and similar materials, and also
for screw driving and thread tapping.
The impact drills are also suited for drilling in
masonry, brickwork and stone.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.

3. General Safety Information

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating
instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications 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.
Always include these documents when passing on
your power tool.

4. Special Safety Instructions

Wear ear protectors when impact drilling
(machines with the designation SB...). Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits:
a) 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 contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
b) 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,
resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage and loss of control,
resulting in personal injury.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only when the
machine is at a standstill.
Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation
(e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
LED light (9): do not observe the LED radiation
directly with optical instruments.
CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
