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. 

e)   Do not use a battery pack or tool that is 

damaged or modified. 

Damaged or modified 

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in 

fire, explosion or risk of injury. 

f)   Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire 

or excessive temperature. 

Exposure to fire or 

temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion. 

g)   Follow all charging instructions and do not 

charge the battery pack or tool outside the 

temperature range specified in the instructions. 

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the 

specified range may damage the battery and increase 

the risk of fire. 

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. 

b)   Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

1 )  Safety instructions for all operations

a)  Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces, when performing an operation where 

the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact 

hidden wiring or its own cord. 

Cutting accessory 

or fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed 

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the 

operator an electric shock.

2)   Safety instructions when using long drill bits

a)   Never operate at higher speed than the 

maximum speed rating of the drill bit. 

At higher 

speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely 

without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal 

injury. 

b)   Always start drilling at low speed and with the 

bit tip in contact with the workpiece. 

At higher 

speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely 

without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal 

injury.

c)   Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit 

and do not apply excessive pressure. 

Bits can
