1. Symbols
2. Safety warnings
2.1 General power tool safety warnings
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, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Follow the operating manual for the charger and the battery pack.
2.2 Machine-specific safety notices
– Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners 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 when using long drill bits
– Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating 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.
2.3 Further safety instructions
– Use appropriate detection devices to look for any hidden supply lines or consult your local utility company. If the insertion tool makes contact with live cables, it can result in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can result in damage to property.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment: Ear protection and safety goggles.
– Wear suitable personal protective equipment:
Ear protection and safety goggles.
CAUTION! Power tool can jam and cause sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!
– Hold the power tool firmly in your hand. Make sure the speed is adjusted
correctly when screwdriving. Be prepared for a high reaction torque, which
may cause the power tool to turn and possibly lead to injury.
– Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp surroundings. Moisture
in the power tool may cause a short circuit and fire.
– Do not lock the on/off switch in place permanently.
– Do not use power supply units or third-party battery packs to operate
cordless power tools. Do not use third-party chargers to charge the battery
packs. The use of accessories not expressly authorised by the manufacturer can
result in electric shocks and/or serious accidents.
– Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be supplied via residual current
device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
2.4 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:
- Sound pressure level: LPA = 64 dB(A)
- Sound power level: LWA = 75 dB(A)
- Uncertainty: K = 5 dB
Vibration emission level ah (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:
- Drilling in metal: ah = 2,7 m/s2; K = 1,5 m/s2
- Fastening: ah < 2,5 m/s2; K = 1,5 m/s2
The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and
noise load during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the power tool.
CAUTION
The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of workpiece being machined.
► The actual load during the entire operating cycle must be evaluated.
► Depending on the actual load, suitable protective measures must be defined
in order to protect the operator.
3. Intended use
Cordless drill suitable
– for drilling in metal, wood, plastics and similar materials,
– for screwing in and tightening screws.
– intended for use with BP Festool battery packs of the same voltage class.
The user is liable for damage and acci dents caused by improper and non- intended use; this also includes damage and wear caused by continuous industrial operation.
