General safety instructions for handling
power tools

WARNING. Read all safety warnings and

all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

This unit may not be used by people (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, with a lack
of experience and without the appropriate knowledge, unless
they are supervised by someone who is responsible for their
safety or have been instructed by such a person with regard
to how the unit is to be operated.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the device.

1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable

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.

Unmodified 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 influence 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

masks, nonskid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the
risk of 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 finger 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. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling

and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

h. If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices

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 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. Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable 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 designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fire.

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 fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If

liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.

6. General safety information for battery-powered

drill/drivers.

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.

7. Drill safety warnings:
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Hold 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.

8. Safety notes for battery/charger.
a. Keep the charger away from rain or damp

conditions. Water entering into the charger will increase

the risk of an electrical shock.

b. Only use chargers recommended by the

manufacturer to recharge the battery. There is a risk

of fire if it is used with other batteries.

c. Never use to recharge third-party batteries. The

charger is only designed to charge the supplied batteries
(Li-Ion) using the voltages specified in the Technical Data.
Otherwise there is a risk of fire or explosion.

d. Keep the charger clean. Contamination will increase

the risk of an electrical shock.

e. Check the charger, cable and plug each time you

use the unit. Do not use the charger if you find any
damage. Never open the charger up yourself, have
it repaired by a qualified specialist only and with
original replacement parts. A damaged charger, cable

or plug will increase the risk of an electrical shock.

f. Never operate the charger on a surface that will

burn easily (for example, paper, textiles etc) or in
a flammable environment. There is a risk of fire

occurring as a result of the heat generated during the
charging process.

g. Fluid can escape from the battery when used

incorrectly. Avoid all contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse with water. If liquid should
get into the eyes, get medical assistance. Battery fluid

may result in skin irritations and burns.

h. Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-

circuiting.

i. Protect the battery from heat, for example, from

constant sun and fire. There is a risk of explosion.

j. Never short circuit the battery. There is a risk of

explosion.

k. In the event of damage and incorrect use, vapours

may come out of the battery. Ensure your work space

is well ventilated with fresh air and, if you have any
symptoms, consult a doctor. These vapours may irritate
the respiratory system.

Safety rules for cordless drill/driver
a) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing

an operation where the drill/driver bits 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.

b) Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using

this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.

c) Secure the material being drill/drivered. Never hold it in

your hand or across legs. Unstable support can cause
the drill/driver bit to bind causing loss of control and injury.

d) Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool

or side handle and walls or posts. Should the bit become
bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the
tool could crush your hand or leg.

e) If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the

trigger immediately, reverse the direction of rotation and
slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready
for a strong reaction torque. The drill/driver body will tend
to twist in the opposite direction as the drill/driver bit is
rotating.

f) Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to

the spinning chuck or drill/driver bit. Your hand may be
lacerated.

g) When installing a drill/driver bit, insert the shank of the bit

well within the jaws of the chuck. If the bit is not inserted
deep enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced
and the loss of control is increased.

h) Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull

or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the
workpiece.

i) When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with

skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the
bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged
use. Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the drill/driver before switching the tool on.
Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking
you or
a bystander.

j) Do not run the drill/driver while carrying it at your side.

A spinning drill/driver bit could become entangled with
clothing and injury may result.

WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drill/drivering, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:

a) Lead from lead-based paints,
b) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and
c) 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 equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
