Subject to technical modification

INTENDED USE]

The drill driver is intended to be used only by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual, and can be considered responsible for their actions.
The product can be used for drilling into various materials, including wood, metal, and plastics using a drill bit having a shank diameter of less than 13 mm.
The product can be used to drive and remove screws and bolts using an appropriate bit.
Do not use the product in any way other than those stated for intended use.

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury

Save all warnings and instruction for future reference.

DRILL DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS

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. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear ear protectors when drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
When not in use, all tools should be disconnected from power source.
The dust produced when using the product may pose a health hazard. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask..
Do not operate on materials (e.g., asbestos) that present a health hazard.
Switch off the product immediately if the bit stalls. Do not switch on the product again while the bit is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the bit stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions. The possible causes may be:
- it is tilted in the workpiece
- it has pierced the workpiece
- the product is overloaded
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the product is running.
When working in walls, ceilings, or floors, avoid hitting electrical cables and gas or water pipes.
Secure your workpiece with a clamping device.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise, and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

Risk of electrocution if electric cables are drilled into. Always grasp the product by designated handles; do not touch the drill bits.
Injury caused by vibration. Hold the product by designated handles and limit exposure to vibration. See “RISK REDUCTION”.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms.

WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt and carbon dust.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an authorised service center.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in the product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life span of the product under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

WARNING

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
