The drills and impact drills are suitable for drilling in

metal, wood, plastic and similar materials, and also

for screwdriving and thread tapping.

The impact drills are also suited for drilling in

masonry, brickwork and stone.

The user bears sole responsibility for any damage

caused by improper use.

Generally accepted accident prevention regula-

tions and the enclosed safety information must be

observed.

For your own protection and for the

protection of your electrical tool, pay

attention to all parts of the text that are

marked with this symbol!

WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-

tions will reduce the risk of injury.

Pass on your electrical tool only together with these

documents.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING – Read all safety warnings and

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference! The term "power tool" in the warnings

refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool

or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

2.1 Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-

mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

2.2 Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)

power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching out-

lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased

risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock.

2.3 Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-

cation. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with

your finger on the switch or energising power tools

that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of

the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

2.4 Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

be repaired.
