Intended Use
The drill driver is intended to be used only by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in the manual, and can be considered responsible for their actions. It is not to be used in any way other than those stated for intended use. The product can be used with a drill bit having a shank diameter of less than 13 mm.

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.

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

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Before use, read all safety warnings and instructions in the manual.
  2. Insert a drill bit or appropriate bit into the chuck of the drill driver.
  3. Adjust the clutch setting as needed for the material being drilled or the screw being driven.
  4. Hold the drill driver by its insulated gripping surfaces and place the drill bit or bit tip onto the surface to be drilled or the screw to be driven.
  5. Gently squeeze the trigger to begin drilling or driving the screw. Apply steady pressure to the tool and avoid forcing it.
  6. Release the trigger once the drilling or driving is complete.

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

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 fi ngers, 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.

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.
