5.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
5.2 Additional safety precautions
5.2.1 Personal safety
a) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fas-
tener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
b) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
c) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
d) Breathing protection must be worn if the power
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
e) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
f) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially
rotating insert tools, may lead to injury.
g) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch
in the middle position) before storing or trans-
porting the power tool.
h) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
i) The power tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
j) WARNING: Some dust created by grinding,
sanding, cutting and drilling contains chem-
icals known to cause cancer, birth defects,
infertility or other reproductive harm; or seri-
ous and permanent respiratory or other injury.
Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from
lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks,
concrete and other masonry products and natural
stone, arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce exposure to these chemicals,
the operator and bystanders should work in a
well-ventilated area, work with approved safety
equipment, such as respiratory protection ap-
propriate for the type of dust generated, and
designed to filter out microscopic particles and
direct dust away from the face and body. Avoid
prolonged contact with dust. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or to remain on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c) Ensure fastener and attachment will withstand
the level of torque generated by the tool. Exces-
sive torque may overstress, strip or damage the
fastener/attachment and possibly lead to personal
injury.
5.2.3 Cordless tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting the battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into a lamp that is switched on may dazzle
you.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat-
teries and do not subject them to temperatures
over 80°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances may
otherwise result.
d) Avoid ingress of dampness.Dampness may
cause a short circuit resulting in a risk of burning
injury or fire.
e) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery
for purposes for which it is not intended presents
a risk of fire and explosion.
f) Observe the special instructions applicable to
the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batter-
ies.
g) Remove the battery before storing or transport-
ing the power tool.
h) Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Check that the
terminals on the battery and in the power tool
