3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the in
fl
uence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your
fi
nger on the switch or plugging in 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 jew-
ellery. 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 ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
h. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than us-
ing your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
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 de-
signed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that can not 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 bind-
ing 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 main-
tained 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 and in the man-
ner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in hazardous situation.
5) Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a quali
fi
ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
insure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILLS
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-
ing battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Recharge only with the charger speci
fi
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.
• Use power tools only with speci
fi
cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and
fi
re.
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails
and other elements in your workpiece; remove them
before you start working
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as
the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the charg-
er (chargers with a rating of 230V or 240V can also
be connected to a 220V supply)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, im-
mediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from
power source
• Flawless functioning of the tool can be guaranteed
only when original accessories are used
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed match-
ing at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• This tool should not be used by people under the age
of 16 years
• Be careful not to drill or drive into areas where elec-
trical wires may be contacted
• Ensure that switch (2) is in the middle (locking) po-
sition before making any adjustments or changing
accessories as well as when carrying or storing the
tool
• Do not touch the contacts in the charger
• Do not expose tool/charger/battery to rain
• Never charge battery outdoors
• Store tool/charger/battery in locations where tem-
perature will not exceed 40° C or drop below 0° C
• Batteries will explode in
fi
re, so do not burn battery
for any reason
• When damaged, and under extreme usage and tem-
perature conditions, batteries may start to leak
- if liquid comes into contact with the skin, wash
quickly with soap and water, then with lemon juice
or vinegar
- if liquid gets into the eyes,
fl
ush eyes with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek imme-
diately medical attention
• When battery is not in tool or charger, it should be
kept away from metal objects such as nails, screws,
keys etc. to prevent short-circuit
• Do not use charger when damaged; take it to one of
the of
fi
cially registered Service Stations for a safety
check
