Additional safety warnings
• Hold the power tool securely. When
tightening and loosening screws be
prepared for temporarily high torque
reactions. Secure the workpiece. A
workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
• Use suitable detectors to determine if
there are hidden supply lines or contact
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric cables can cause � re
and electric shock. Damaging gas lines
can lead to explosion. Breaking water
pipes causes property damage.
• Always wait until the power tool has
come to a complete stop before placing
it down. The application tool can jam and
cause you to lose control of the power
tool.
• In case of damage and improper use of
the battery, vapours may be emitted. The
battery can set alight or explode. Ensure
the area is well ventilated and seek
medical attention should you experience
any adverse eff ects. The vapours may
irritate the respiratory system.
• Do not open the battery. There is a risk of
short-circuiting.
• The battery can be damaged by pointed
objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
force applied externally. An internal short
circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
• Only use the battery with products from
the manufacturer. This is the only way
in which you can protect the battery
against dangerous overload. Protect
the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, � re, dirt,
water and moisture. There is a risk of
explosion and short-circuiting.
• Switch the power tool off immediately if
the application tool becomes blocked.
Be prepared for high torque reactions
which cause kickback. The application
tool becomes blocked when it becomes
jammed in the workpiece or when the
power tool becomes overloaded.
