For your safety

WARNING!
Before using the power tool, please read the follow:
– these operating instructions,
- the "General safety instructions" on the handling of power tools in the enclosed booklet (leaflet-no.: 315.915),
– the currently valid site rules and the regulations for the prevention of accidents.
This power tool is state of the art and has been constructed in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations.
Nevertheless, when in use, the power tool may be a danger to life and limb of the user or a third party, or the power tool or other property may be damaged.
The percussion drill driver may be used only –asintended,
- in perfect working order.
Faults which impair safety must be repaired immediately.
Intended use
The cordless drill driver/hammer drill is intended.
– for commercial use in industry and trade,
– for inserting and releasing screws
– for drilling in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic,
- for impact drilling in brick, masonry and stone (only for PD 2G 18.0-EC HD).
Safety instructions for percussion drill driver

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.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. The cutting accessory or fastener 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.
■ Use auxiliary handles if these are supplied with the power tool. The loss of control may result in injuries.
■ Use suitable detectors to detect concealed power supply cables or consult your local supply company.
Contact with electric cables may result in a fire and/or electric shock. A damaged gas pipe may cause an explosion. Cutting into a water pipe will cause damage to property.
■ Switch off the power tool immediately when the cutting accessory jams. Be prepared for high reaction torques which cause kickback. The cutting accessory jams when:
- the power tool is overloaded or
- it snags in the workpiece to be machined.
■ Maintain a firm grip on the power tool. High reaction torques can occur briefly when screws are tightened and released. - Secure the workpiece. A workpiece is held more securely in a clamping device or vice than by hand.
■ Wait until the power tool has come to a stop before putting it down. The cutting accessory may snag, causing the operator to lose control of the power tool.
■ Use only original batteries with the voltage indicated on the type plate of your power tool. The use of other batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or other makes, increases the risk of injury and damage to property by exploding batteries.
■ Wear ear defenders when impact drilling. The effect of noise may result in loss of hearing.
Noise and vibration
The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841.
The A evaluated noise level of the power tool is typically:
- Sound pressure level L_pA : PD 2G 18.0-EC HD 89.1 dB(A) DD 2G 18.0-EC HD 82 dB(A)
- Sound power level L_WA : PD 2G 18.0-EC HD 100.1 dB(A) DD 2G 18.0-EC HD 90 dB(A)
- Uncertainty: K = 5 dB. Total vibration value :
- Emissionswert a_h,D :
PD 2G 18.0-EC HD 2.5 m/s ^2 DD 2G 18.0-EC HD <2.5 m/s ^2
- Emission value a_h, ID :
PD 2G 18.0-EC HD 16.5 m/s ^4 - Uncertainty: K = 1.5 m/s^2
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a measurement method standardised in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The specified vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool.
However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different cutting accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission level may differ.
This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
To make an accurate estimation of the vibration exposure level, it is also necessary to take into account the times when the tool is switched off or running but not actually in use.
This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the cutting accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
CAUTION!
Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).

Switching on the power tool (see figure M)
■ To switch the power tool on: Press the trigger switch 1.
The trigger switch allows the operator to increase the speed in increments up to the maximum speed.
■ To switch the power tool off: Release the trigger switch.
NOTE
When using the power tool continuously, the operator should work primarily with the trigger switch fully depressed.
Workplace lamp (see figure N)
■ Press trigger switch 1
– Workplace lamp lights up
■ Release trigger switch
– Workplace lamp goes out automatically after approx. 10 sec.
The workplace lamp will rapidly flash when the tool and/or battery pack becomes overloaded or too hot, and the internal sensors will turn the tool off. Rest the tool for a while or place the tool and battery pack separately under air flow to cool them.
The Workplace lamp will flash more slowly to indicate that the battery is at low-battery capacity. Recharge the battery pack.
