preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 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 taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5.1.5 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 acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.1.6 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.
5.2 Hammer safety warnings
a)
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b)
Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
5.3 Additional safety precautions
5.3.1 Personal safety
a)
Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
b)
Always wear protective gloves when starting and
operating the power tool.
c)
Breathing protection must be worn if the power
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
d)
Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
e)
Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece.
Touching rotating parts, especially rotat-
ing insert tools, may lead to injury.
f)
Do not direct the lamp either at yourself or at
anyone else. Do not, under any circumstances,
look into the lamp. There is a risk of dazzling
yourself and causing damage to the retina of the
eye.
g)
Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse selector
switch in the middle position) or pull the battery
out slightly until it engages in the first position
before making adjustments to the tool or before
fitting drill bits, the side handle or depth gauge
and before storing or transporting the tool.
h)
When restarting after the electronic overload pro-
tection system has switched the tool off, care
must be taken to ensure that the power tool is
held securely with both hands on the grips pro-
vided.
i)
Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
j)
The power tool is not intended for use by children,
by debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
k)
Whenever the power tool is knocked or dropped,
check its operation and, if necessary, do not con-
tinue to use it.
l)
WARNING: Some dust created by grinding, sand-
ing, cutting and drilling contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility or other
reproductive harm; or serious and permanent res-
piratory or other injury.
Some examples of these
chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crys-
talline silica from bricks, concrete and other masonry
products and natural stone, 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 exposure to these
chemicals, the operator and bystanders should
work in a well-ventilated area, work with ap-
proved safety equipment, such as respiratory pro-
tection appropriate for the type of dust generated,
and designed to filter out microscopic particles
and direct dust away from the face and body.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust. Wear protec-
tive clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
