Do not put batteries into fire or expose to high
heat. They may explode.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage
or temperature conditions. When a rechargeable
battery leaks, avoid contact with the skin or
eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause
chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact
with skin, wash quickly with soap and water, then with
lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid contacts your eyes,
flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek medical attention.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery.
charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tools
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
Remove the battery from the power tool before ad-
justments are made to the tool, accessories are
changed or the tool is stored. This safety measure
prevents the unintentional switching on of the power tool.
Take care when inserting a tool bit that the shaft
of the tool bit is seated firmly in the tool holder.
When the shaft of the tool bit is not inserted deeply
enough in the tool holder, the tool bit can slide out and
no longer be controlled.
Use only flawless tool bits that are not worn. De-
fective tool bits can break, for example, and cause in-
juries or damage.

2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

FOR RE-CHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their
end of life. Battery packs typically last from 1,000 to
3,000 charges (depending on charger used). If you
notice decreased tool performance or significantly
shorter running time between charges then it is time to
replace the battery pack. Failure to do so can cause
the tool to operate improperly or damage the charger.
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 terminals together may
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
A Never store rechargeable batteries in a battery
powered tool. Rechargeable batteries last longer
and are easier to recharge when they are stored sep-
arately. Remember to fully recharge batteries that
have been stored for a longer time before use.
FOR CORDLESS DRIVERS
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when "seat-
ing" or removing a fastener. The screwdriver hous-
ing may tend to twist in the opposite direction of bit ro-
tation when "seating" or removing a fastener
depending on the torque setting of the tool.
Place the screwdriver tool onto the nut/screw
only when the screwdriver is switched off. Rotat-
ing screwdriver tools can slide off the nut/screw.
Be careful when driving long screws – there is a
risk of sliding off the fastener head depending on
type of socket or bit used. Long screws are often
difficult to control and the danger exists that the tool
slips off when screwing in and causes injuries.
Pay attention to the direction of rotation that is
set before switching on the tool. For example,
when a screw is to be loosened and the direction of ro-
tation is set so that the screw is tightened, this can
lead to a strong uncontrollable movement of the tool.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side.
A spinning bit could become entangled with clothing
and injury may result.
