Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power
tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before 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.
may present a risk of personal injury and/or damage
to property.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used
with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fi re.
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 terminals together
may cause burns or a fi re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. 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 qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
screwdrivers and impact wrenches
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the

Charging the battery (fi g. C)
The battery needs to be charged before fi rst use and
whenever it fails to produce suffi cient power on jobs that
were easily done before. A new battery or a battery that
has not been used for a long period of time achieves full
performance only after approximately 5 charging and
discharging cycles. After normal use, a charging time of
12 hours will enable the tool to operate at an effective
power level for most tasks. However, further charging for
up to 24 hours could signifi cantly increase the run time,
depending on the battery and charging conditions. The
battery may become warm while charging; this is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient
temperatures below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended
charging temperature: approx. 24 °C.
• To charge the battery, insert the charger plug (7) into
the connector (3).
• Plug in the charger.
• Switch on at the mains.
• Leave the tool connected to the charger for at least
12 hours.
The tool can be left connected to the charger indefi nitely.
The charger may hum and become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
• Before using the tool, unplug the charger and
disconnect the tool from the charger.
Warning! Do not use the tool while it is connected to
the charger.
Operating the tool (fi g. D)
• To tighten a screw or nut, slide the on/off switch (1)

a pilot hole with a depth equal to the length of the
screw. A pilot hole guides the screw and prevents
splintering or distortion of the wood. For the optimum
size of the pilot hole, refer to the table below.
• When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance
hole with a depth equal to half the length of the
screw. For the optimum size of the clearance hole,
refer to the table below.
