General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all 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.

Work area safety



Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.



Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of 

flammable liquids, gases or dust. 

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust 

or fumes.



Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. 

Distractions can 

cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety



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 outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.



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.



Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.



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 and moving parts. 

Damaged 

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.



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.



If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current de-

vice (RCD) protected supply. 

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety



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, al-

cohol or medication. 

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in 

serious personal injury.



Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Protective equip-

ment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.



Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before con-

necting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 

Carry-

ing power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the 

switch on invites accidents.



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.



Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

This enables better 

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.



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.



If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facili-

ties, ensure these are connected and properly used. 

Use of dust collection can reduce 

dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care



Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 

The cor-

rect power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.



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.



Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power 

tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.



Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamil-

iar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. 

Power tools 

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.



Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage 

of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired before use. 

Many accidents are caused by poorly 

maintained power tools.



Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting 

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.



Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-

tions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous 

situation.

Battery tool use and care



Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. 

A charger that is suit-

able for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery 

pack.



Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. 

Use of any other bat-

tery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.



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.



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.

Service



Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical re-

placement parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Drills and Screwdriver



Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation 

where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. 

Cutting accesso-

ry and fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 

“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.



Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. 

Loss of control can cause personal in-

jury.



Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility 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. Penetrating a water line 

causes property damage.



Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool insert 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.



Hold the machine with a firm grip. 

High reaction torque can briefly occur while driving 

in and loosening screws.



Secure the workpiece. 

A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held 

more secure than by hand.



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.



Do not open the battery. 

Danger of short-circuiting.

Declaration of Conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility that the product described under “Technical Data” 

is in conformity with the following standards or standardisation documents: EN 60745 ac-

cording to the provisions of the directives 2009/125/EC (Regulation 1194/2012), 

2011/65/EU, 2004/108/EC, 2006/42/EC.

Noise/Vibration Information

The measured values of the machine are listed in the table on page 276.

Noise and vibrational values (vector sum of three directions) determined according to 

EN 60745.

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accord-

ance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with 

another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However 

if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, 

the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the 

total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times 

when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-

nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such 

as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep hands warm, organise work patterns.
