tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
▶ Service
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.

Safety Rules for Cordless Drill/Drivers

▶ Safety instructions for
all operations
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may con-
tact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasten-
ers contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
▶ Safety instructions when using
long drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, result-
ing in personal injury.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by
the manufacturer or authorized service provid-
ers.
Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls
or other blind areas where electrical wiring
may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, dis-
connect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this
worksite.
Always hold the tool with both hands. If the bit
jams two hands will give you maximum control
over torque reaction or kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection
when using this tool. Use a dust mask or res-
pirator for applications which generate dust.
Secure the material being drilled. Never hold it
in your hand or across legs. Unstable support
can cause the drill bit to bind causing loss of
control and injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place
the switch in the locked or off position before
making any assembly, adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Position yourself to avoid being caught be-
tween the tool or side handle and walls
or posts. Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the
tool could crush your hand or leg.
If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, re-
lease the trigger immediately, reverse the di-
rection of rotation and slowly squeeze the trig-
ger to back out the bit. Be ready for a strong
reaction torque. The drill body will tend to twist
in the opposite direction as the drill bit is rotat-
ing.
