General safety rules
• Use the auxiliary handle included with this product. Loss of control over the tool can
cause injuries. Note the large torque that occurs during drilling, especially when drilling
masonry work.
• DO NOT attempt to change any of the selector switches while the motor is running. Doing
so could damage the machine.
• DO NOT attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in any way. Do not force the
tool; let the machine do the work. This will reduce the wear on the machine and
accessories increasing its efficiency and operating life.
• Do not use this product with any accessory designed for other tasks than those of a drill
or electric screwdriver.
• Always turn off the drill and wait for rotation to stop before putting it on any surface.
• When using the drill use personal protective equipment: safety helmet, safety glasses or
a face shield, hearing protection, safety gloves, protective clothing and non-slip shoes. Use
an anti-dust mask if the drilling operation will generate dust.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation in
which the accessory can make contact with hidden wires. When the accessory makes
contact with an energized wire, the accessory can cause exposed metal parts of the tool to
electrify and shock the operator.

Battery-powered tool use and care
• The battery must only be charged with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery can result in a fire risk if used with other
types of batteries.
• Only use the type of battery intended for the actual power tool. The use of any other
type of battery can result in a risk of personal injury and fire.
• When the battery is not in use keep it away from other metal objects such as
paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can short circuit
the two terminals. If the battery terminals are short-circuited this can result in burn
injuries or a fire.
• Incorrect use of the product can cause fluid to leak from the battery; avoid contact.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water if you get fluid on your skin. Seek medical
attention if you get fluid in your eyes. Fluids from the battery can cause skin irritation or
burns.
