b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c) Ensure fastener and attachment will withstand
the level of torque generated by the tool. Ex-
cessive torque may overstress, strip or damage
the fastener/attachment and possibly lead to per-
sonal injury.
5.2.3 Cordless tool use and care
a) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
b) Batteries must not be opened or dismantled,
squashed, heated to temperatures over 100°C
or incinerated. A risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
c) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
d) Observe the special instructions applicable to
the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batter-
ies.
e) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
5.2.4 Electrical safety
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 power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.

5.2.5 Work area
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.
c) WARNING: Some dust created by grinding,
sanding, cutting and drilling contains chem-
icals known to cause cancer, birth defects,
infertility or other reproductive harm; or seri-
ous and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from
lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks,
concrete and other masonry products and natural
stone, arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce exposure to these chemicals,
the operator and bystanders should work in a
well-ventilated area, work with approved safety
equipment, such as respiratory protection ap-
propriate for the type of dust generated, and
designed to filter out microscopic particles and
direct dust away from the face and body. Avoid
prolonged contact with dust. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or to remain on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
5.2.6 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection, a hard
hat, ear protection, protective gloves and breathing
protection while the power tool is in use.
