-
over, the warranty will lapse in such cases.
The device is not a toy and has no place in the hands of children.
The plug-in charging set is constructed according to protection class II. As source of voltage only a correct mains socket
(230V~/50Hz) of the public supply system may be used.
The product (cordless drill / screwdriver, plug-in charging set) may not become damp or wet. This can both cause risk of
destroying the product and risk of a fatal electric shock!
If the product is brought from a cold into a warm room (e.g. for transport reasons), it is possible that condensation water
develops. This water could damage the product. Additionally, the plug-in charging set can cause a fatal electric shock!
Therefore, allow the complete product to reach room temperature before using it or before connecting the plug-in charging
set to the mains voltage. This may take several hours.
Never position vessels or containers containing liquids, such as buckets, vases or plants, into the direct vicinity of the
product. Liquids could seep into the interior of the housing and in doing so impair the electrical safety. Apart from that there
is the greatest risk of a fire or a fatal electric shock!
In such a case, switch off the belonging mains socket (e.g. switch off automatic fuse) and pull the plug-in charging set out
of the mains socket; take the accumulator out of the cordless drill / screwdriver. Then, the product may not be operated any
longer, bring it to a specialist workshop.
Do not place open sources of fire such as burning candles on the device or in its vicinity.
Never operate the product in the vicinity of combustible or inflammable liquids or gases, air/gas mixtures (gasoline vapours)
or easily inflammable solids. Sparks can develop if the product is operated, risk of explosion!
Only use the device in a moderate climate, never in a tropical climate.
Never touch the cordless drill / screwdriver and the plug-in charging set with damp or wet hands, because there is risk of a
fatal electric shock in this case!
Do not pull the plug-in charging set out of the mains socket by the cable! Pull the plug-in charging set always out of the mains
socket by the casing (hold it at its left and right sides with your hand and then pull it out).
Do not place objects on the power cable, do not kink it.
If the plug-in charging set is damaged, do not touch it. First of all switch off the mains socket to which the product is con
-
nected (e.g. switch off automatic fuse) and then pull the plug-in charging set carefully out of the mains socket. Then bring the
product to a specialist workshop! The damaged plug charging set may not be repaired, there is grave danger!
Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. In the hands of children, plastic foil and/or bags and polystyrene
parts etc. can turn into dangerous toys.
In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer’s Liability Insurance Associations for Electri
-
cal Systems and Operating Materials are to be observed.
In schools, training centers, hobby and self-help workshops, the use of the product must be supervised by trained personnel
in a responsible manner.
b) Operating the cordless drill / screwdriver
Rotating parts can catch your hair and clothes, there is risk of injury! Therefore, use a hair net etc. for long hair and wear
clothes which fit closely when operating the product.
Always check the cordless drill / screwdriver for damage before using it. In case you notice any damage, do not operate the
device and bring it to a specialist workshop.
For safety reasons, the change-over switch is to set to its central position before inserting or removing bore bits or drills. In
this position the drive is blocked (turn-on lock).
Ensure that power, gas or water lines are not damaged during boring or screwing in screws! Grave danger!
