2.1 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.

2.2 Machine-related safety instructions

- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surface, when performing an operation where the fastener 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.

- Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

Four black circular icons representing different workplace safety symbols: helmet, glasses, head, and hand (no text or labels)

CAUTION! Power tool can block and cause sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!

• Hold the power tool firmly in your hand. Adjust the torque correctly for screwing. 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 burning.
• Do not lock the on/off switch permanently!
• Connecting the magazine attachment and dry-wall screwdriver results in a device, which is subject to the safety regulations and instruction for the drywall screwdriver.

2.3 Battery pack and charger safety instructions

• This charger can be operated by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of practical experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or have been instructed to use the machine safely and understand the dangers of machine operation. Children are not allowed use or play with the machine.
• 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 power adapters or battery packs form other manufacturers to operate the cordless power tool. Do not use any charger from other manufacturers for charging the battery pack. The use of impermissible accessories may result in electric shock and / or serious accidents!

• Protect the battery pack from excessive heat > 50 °C 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.
• Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be supplied via residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
