Special safety instructions
Check that the air vents on the cordless drill
are not blocked.
Do not use damaged or blunt bits and always
select the correct type of bit for the job.
Secure small items in a vice or similar. Never
hold the item in your hand!
Check for concealed power cables, pipes, etc.
in the items or surfaces you are going to drill.
Place a piece of scrap wood under the item
if possible. Make sure that the drill does not
damage any objects under or behind the
item, e.g. when drilling into walls.
The drill must not be in contact with
anything when it is started.
Drilling certain materials can produce
harmful dust. Always wear a mask.
Ensure the drill has completely stopped
before changing direction.
Never put the drill down if the bit is still
rotating. Wait until it has stopped completely
before putting it down if you are not going
to use it again.
Avoid touching the drill bit immediately after
use. It may be very hot.
Warnings for batteries and chargers
Use only batteries and chargers that
are designed for this machine.
Batteries
•
Must not be opened under any
circumstances.
•
Must not be stored in places where the
temperature may exceed 40 °C.
•
May only be charged at an ambient
temperature of between 4 °C and 40 °C.
•
Batteries must be disposed of in
accordance with the applicable
regulations.
•
Make sure they cannot be short-circuited.
If a connection is created between the
positive (+) and the negative (-) pole,
directly or due to accidental contact with
metal objects, the battery will short-
circuit. The result will be a very high
current, which generates heat and can
cause a � re, or the battery to crack.
•
Must not be heated. If the batteries
are heated to above 100 °C, the seal
and dividing plates and other polymer
components may be damaged as a result
of electrolyte seepage and/or internal
short circuit, which will result in the
generation of heat that may cause cracks
in the battery or a � re. The batteries must
not be burned, as this may cause an
explosion and/or severe burns.
•
Under extreme conditions, the battery
may leak. If you notice liquid on the
battery, do the following:
•
Carefully wipe off the liquid with a cloth.
Avoid contact with the skin.
•
If the liquid gets on your skin or in your
eyes, follow these steps:
- Rinse immediately with water.
Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar.
•
If you get liquid in your eyes, rinse
thoroughly with plenty of water for at
least ten minutes. Consult a doctor.
Risk of � re! Do not short-circuit the
contacts on a disconnected battery.
Do not burn the battery.
