8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs
should always be worn. A face or dust mask is required if
the cutting operation creates dust.
9. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to
disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
10. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the
workpiece. It is safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate the tool.
11. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and
balanced at all times.
12. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect tool
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired
by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace them if damaged. Keep tool
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
13. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and
disconnect the plug from the power point before
servicing, when changing accessories such as blades, bits
and cutters, and when the tool is not in use.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Get into the
habit of always checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before switching on.
15. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the
switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool
to the power supply.
16. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use and are so marked.
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.
18. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check
that there are no damaged parts. If a part, such as a
guard is damaged, carefully determine if it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other
conditions that may affect the operation of the tool. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility,
unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not
turn the tool on and off correctly.
19. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with
grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerator enclosures.
20. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
21. Warning. The use of any accessory or attachment other
than those recommended in this instruction manual,
may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This
electric tool is in accordance with the relevant safety
requirements. Repair should only be carried out by
qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise
this may result in considerable danger to the user.
23. Special safety hints.
• Your cordless drill is not charged when purchased. Be sure
to charge the unit for fully approximately 5–7 hours prior
to initial use.
• A battery stored used or charged under high temperature
conditions will deteriorate more quickly.
• Don’t overcharge the battery.
• Once your battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger
from the power and store safely in the drill.
• Never store the battery out of the drill, as the two contacts
on the drill are exposed and could be shorted by a metal
object and cause a fire or explosion!
• Before drilling check that there are no hidden hazards such
as electric cables, water or gas pipes running below the
surface-use a metal/voltage detector.
• Don’t expose either the drill or charger to rain, high
humidity or wet conditions.
