[. . . ] 3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. [. . . ] Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock. The tool insert jams when: -- the power tool is subject to overload or -- it becomes wedged in the workpiece. 14 | English Hold power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may run into hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. High reaction torque can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of the product is 75 dB(A). Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745: Drilling into metal: Vibration emission value ah <2. The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The machine is intended for driving in and loosening screws as well as for drilling in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic. English | 15 The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce 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 accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns. We declare under our sole responsibility that the product described under "Technical Data" is in conformity with the following standards or standardization documents: EN 60745 according to the provisions of the directives 2004/108/EC, 98/37/EC (until Dec. [. . . ] Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders. Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). English | 17 Switching On and Off To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 13 and keep it depressed. The power light 11 lights up when the On/Off switch 13 is halfway or fully depressed, and enables illumination of the screwing location in unfavourable light conditions. [. . . ]
