SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORDLESS
DRILL/DRIVERS
General
• The tool/charger is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the tool/
charger by a person responsible for their
safety.
• Ensure that children do not play with the
tool/charger.
• Ensure that the Forward/Reverse switch
(5) is in the middle (locking) position before
making any adjustments or changing
accessories as well as when carrying or
storing the tool.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos
(asbestos is considered carcinogenic).
• Dust from material such as paint contain-
ing lead, some wood species, minerals
and metal may be harmful (contact with or
inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to
the operator or bystanders); wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction
device when connectable.
• Certain kinds of dust are classied as
carcinogenic (such as oak and beech
dust) especially in conjunction with addi-
tives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction
device when connectable.
• Follow the dust-related national require-
ments for the materials you want to work
with.
• When using the drill, use safety equipment
including safety glasses or shield, ear
defenders, and protective clothing includ-
ing safety gloves. Wear respiratory protec-
tion suitable for the work being under-
taken. A minimum rating of FFP2 is recom-
mended. If operating the tool causes dis-
comfort in any way, stop immediately and
review your method of use.
• Battery chargers are for indoors use only.
Ensure that the power supply and charger
are protected against moisture at all times.
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
• Ensure that the drill bit is securely xed in
the chuck. Insecure drill bits can be
ejected from the machine causing a
hazard.
• Ensure that the drill bit is not in contact
with the workpiece prior to starting up the
tool.
• Before drilling, check that there is suf-
cient clearance for the drill bit under the
workpiece.
• Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to
cool prior to handling them.
• NEVER use your hands to remove saw-
dust, chips or waste close by the bit.
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of
wear or damage. Have damaged parts
repaired by a qualied service centre.
