  WARNING!

The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re, and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the product. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Hold the 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING LONG DRILL BITS

Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rated 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, resulting in personal injury.

**** SCREWDRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS

Hold the power the 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the product. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy nonslip footwear, helmet, and ear defenders.

The dust produced when using this product may be harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g., asbestos).

Turn off the product immediately if the insertion tool stalls. Do not turn on the product on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.

The possible causes may be:

• The insertion tool is tilted in the workpiece to be machined.
• The insertion tool has pierced through the material to be machined.
• The power tool is overloaded

Do not reach into the product while it is running.
The insertion tool is sharp-edged and can become hot during use.

**WARNING!** Danger of cuts and burns.

• when changing tools
• when setting down the product

Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the product is running. When working on walls, ceilings, or floors, take care to avoid electric cables, and gas pipes or water pipes. Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage. Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
Always use a side handle when using a 9.0 Ah or higher capacity battery pack. The output torque of some products may increase. If your drill/driver did not come with a side handle, use the spare part side handle (see explosion drawing of the product).
Do not insert the bit on product when the product is running and switch is lock on status, the bit will be run and may hurt the user.
