20) Do not use the device or battery pack
when coated with a foreign substance
such as oil.
•Dropping the device or battery pack
may result in damage. Ingress of
foreign substances such as oil may
result in the overheating, ignition or
explosion.
21) Pointed tools such as drill bits should
be periodically replaced.
22) Before use, check that the device,
battery pack, charger, tools and other
parts are free from damage and
operate correctly.
•Failure to do so may result in injury
due to damage.
23) Securely attach tools such as drill bits
and accessories in accordance with
the user manual.
•Failure to do so may result in injury
due to the tool coming loose.
24) When working at height, ensure
nobody is below the work area.
•Failure to do so may result in accident
due to materials or the device being
dropped.
25) Do not use in locations with large
amounts of flammable liquids, gas or
dust.
26) Ensure earthed elements such as
metal pipes or the housings of heat-
ers, microwaves or refrigerators do
not come into contact with your body.
27) Do not use without reading the user
manual and safety guidelines and
understanding the charging tool and
its operation.
28) Be prepared and work with due care.
29) While working, use safety equipment
such as protective glasses, and where
necessary an anti-dust mask, anti-slip
safety boots, helmet and ear protec-
tors.
30) Do not use in the presence of corro-
sive gases.
31) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet.
32) Turn the trigger switch off immediately
if a bit becomes jammed to avoid
damage to the battery pack or motor
due to overloading. Reversing direc-
tion will loosen the jammed bit.
33) When exchanging bits or accessories
and during storage, be sure to set the
forward/reverse lever to the lock
position and remove the battery pack.
Failure to do so may result in unex-
pected operation and injury.
34) Do not store the device above 50
degrees.
•This may result in abnormal operation.
35) Do not operate through a metal hole.
•This may result in injury from splinter-
ing of the metal drill blade due to high
torque.
36) If storing the device on a hook, do not
leave any sharp tool installed, as this
may result in injury.
37) Do not use multiple battery packs
consecutively.
38) Avoid starting the device suddenly.
39) Make sure the power plug is fully
inserted.
•Partial insertion can cause an electric
shock or a fire due to the generation
of heat. Do not use damaged plugs or
loose sockets.
40) Periodically remove dust, etc. from
power plugs.
•If dust, etc. collects on a plug, a fire
may be caused by poor isolation due
to moisture, etc. Unplug the plug and
wipe it with a dry cloth.
41) If an unusual sound, odour or amount
of heat is produced by the charger
during charging, remove the power
plug from the socket immediately,
disconnect the battery pack, and
request inspection and repair from the
place of purchase.
42) Inspect the charger periodically to
check whether dust has gathered in
the vents and that the cooling fan
rotates during charging. Continued
charging without ensuring good
cooling may result in the production of
smoke, ignition and explosion.
