the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5.1.5 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 suitable for one
typeofbatterypackmaycreateariskoffirewhen
used with another battery pack.
c) Use powertools only with specificallydesignated
battery packs. Use of any other battery 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 connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejec-
ted 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.
5.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
5.2 Additional safety rules
5.2.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protectors when using hammer drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Always hold the tool securely with both hands
on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
d) Breathing protection must be worn if the tool is
used without a dust extraction system for work
that creates dust.
e) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
f) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the tool on
only after bringing it into position at the work-
piece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating
drill bits, discs or blades, etc. may lead to injury.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both h ands
remain free to operate the tool or machine.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the tool may
become live, for example, when an electric cable
is drilled into accidentally. This presents a serious
risk of electric shock.
5.2.4 Work a rea
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
5.2.5 Safety equipment
a) The user and any other persons in the vicinity
must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat,
ear protection, protective gloves and breathing
protection while the tool is in use.
