Original operating manual
1 Safety instructions
1.1 General safety instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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.
1.2 Machine-related safety instructions
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories or fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
- This charger can be used by children of 8 years and upwards and persons with impaired physical, sensory or mental abilities, or insufficient experience or knowledge, providing they are supervised or have been instructed in the proper use of the appliance and understand the risks involved. Children are not permitted to play with the appliance. Children must not carry out cleaning tasks or maintenance unless they are supervised.

- Wear suitable protection: such as ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work which generates dust, and protective gloves when working with raw materials and when changing tools.

CAUTION! Rebound!
Rotation: Switch off device immediately!
- Do not lock the on/off switch permanently!
- Do not open the battery pack or the charger!
- Prevent metal parts (e.g. metal chips) or fluids from entering the charger!
- Do not use battery packs or chargers from other manufacturers!
- Protect the battery pack from excessive heat or constant heat sources such as sunlight or naked flames!
- Never use water to extinguish burning li-ion battery packs! Use sand or a fire blanket.
- Check the plug and the cable regularly and should either become damaged, in order to avoid a hazard, have them replaced by an authorised after-sales service workshop.
- Always pull the mains plug out of the socket when the charger is not in use.
1.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745 are typically:
Sound pressure level L PA = 65 dB(A)
Sound power level L WA=76 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 3 dB

Wear ear protection.
Vibration emission value a_h (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 60745:
Drilling in metall a
$$ h = 3. 0 \mathrm {m} / \mathrm {s} ^ {2} $$
$$ K = 1, 5 \mathrm {m} / \mathrm {s} ^ {2} $$
Fastening a
$$ h = 4, 0 m / s ^ {2} $$
$$ K = 1, 5 \mathrm {m} / \mathrm {s} ^ {2} $$
The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
- are used to compare machines.
- They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise loads during operation.
- They represent the primary applications of the power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with other insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!
