Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.

Support the work properly.

If you are interrupted when operating, complete the process and switch off before looking up.

Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened.

When using the screwdriver, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves.

Do not charge the screwdriver in a place where static electricity is generated nor let the battery touch something that is statically charged.

Take care where the tool is stored. Do not store in areas of corrosive fumes, or salt air or similar conditions.

Do not dispose of the tool in a fire or put the tool into a microwave oven, conventional oven, dryer, or high- pressure container. Under these conditions, the tool may explode.

Never attempt to open the tool, puncture the casing of the tool, or subject the tool to strong physical shock. If the plastic housing of the tool breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.

Stop using the tool if it exhibits abnormal heat, colour or deformation, or if the tool is in an abnormal condition.

After the tool has reached the end of its useful life, we recommend recycling the materials at your local municipal council recycling centre. DO NOT attempt to replace the capacitor, repair or modify any part of the tool.

When recycling, make it nonconductive by applying insulating tape to cover the terminals located on the bottom of the screwdrivers body.

If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:

Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
