− Batteries must not be charged, opened, thrown into fire, short circuited or
reactivated by other means.
− Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucus membranes. In the event of
contact with battery acid, the affected area must be rinsed immediately
with plenty of clean water and a doctor must be consulted immediately.
− If batteries are swallowed or if they are inside the body for any reason,
seek medical advice immediately. Keep batteries away from children and
animals.
− Take the batteries out of the battery compartment if they are empty or
if you do not use the drill for a prolonged period of time. This avoids
damage that could be caused by battery leakage.
− Do not expose the batteries to extreme conditions by, for example, placing
them on radiators or exposing them to direct sunlight.
− If necessary, clean the contacts of the batteries and device before
inserting them, e.g. with a piece of emery cloth.
− Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries.
− Do not use old and new batteries of different types.
Supplementary safety instructions
− The drill may only be used by adults.
− Children must be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the
drill.
− Keep children away from the packaging material and small parts. There is
a choking hazard if swallowed.
− Only connect the drill if the mains voltage of the socket corresponds to the
specification on the nameplate.
− Only connect the drill to an easily accessible socket so that you can quickly
disconnect it from the mains in case of a failure.
− Do not operate the drill if it exhibits visible damages or the mains cord or
mains plug is defective.
− If the mains cord for the drill is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its After Sales Support department or a similarly qualified
