performing an operation where the fastener 

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 

Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make 

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and 

could give the operator an electric shock.

Cordless machines: Hold power tool by 

insulated gripping surfaces, when performing 

an operation where the fastener may contact 

hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire 

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 

"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

Ensure that the place where you wish to work is 

free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes

Smaller workpieces must be secured in such a way 

that they are not carried along with the screwdriver 

bit (e.g. by clamping in a vice or on a work bench 

with screw clamps).

Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove 

chips and similar material only with the machine at 

a standstill.
