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.
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.
c.  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.
d.  Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power 
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. 
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained 
users.
e.  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 damaged, have the power tool repaired 
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly 
maintained power tools.
f.  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
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 instructions, 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.  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.
Additional Power Tool Safety Warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for drills and 
impact drills
Drill Safety Warnings
•  Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure 
to noise can cause hearing loss.
•  Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. 
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•  Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 
when performing an operation where the cutting 
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own 
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may 
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and 
could give the operator an electric shock.
•  Use clamps or another practical way to secure and 
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the 
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and 
may lead to loss of control.
•  Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, check for the 
location of wiring and pipes.
•  Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just after drilling, as it 
may be hot.
•  This tool 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 appliance by a person responsible 
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure 
that they do not play with the appliance.
•  The intended use is described in this instruction manual. 
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance 
of any operation with this tool other than those
