e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these instruc-
tions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suita-
ble for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat-
tery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Machine-specific
Safety Notes
B When working with the machine, always hold
it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more
secure with both hands.
B Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
B Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
B Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational
direction switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to
injuries.
B Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
B Protect the battery against heat and fire. Dan-
ger of explosion.
B Wear hearing protection when using impact
drills. The influence of noise can lead to loss of
hearing.
B Always use the auxiliary handle supplied with
the machine. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
B Use appropriate detectors to determine if util-
ity lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock.
B Switch off the power tool immediately when
the tool insert suddenly jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque that can cause kickback.
The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
B Hold the power tool only by the insulated han-
dles, when performing an operation where
the tool insert can run into hidden wiring. Con-
tact with a "live" wire can make metal parts of the
power tool "live" and lead to an electric shock.
