preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value

depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on
how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

7

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also tak e

account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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.

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
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 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 finger on the switch or energising power tools

9

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

10

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) 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) 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.

SCREW DRIVER AND IMPACT WRENCH SAFETY
WARNING

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
