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 tool’s 
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.
5. Service 
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical 
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS FOR YOUR IMPACT DRILL
1. Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation 
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ‘live’ 
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool ‘live’ and shock the operator.
4. Do not use the drill near water.
5. Do not use the drill as a screwdriver.
6. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or 
maintenance.
7. When an extension cord is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for your 
power tool and that it is in a safe electrical condition. Please fully unwind extension cords to 
avoid potential overheating.
