Safety warnings

General Power Tool Safety WarningsWARNING! 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-powered (corded) power tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.Machine-specific safety notices– Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.– Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause person­ al injury.– Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur­ faces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contact­ ing a “live”  wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.– Use appropriate detection devices to look for any hidden supply lines or consult your local utility company. If the insertion tool makes contact with live cables, it can result in  fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can result in damage to property.– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur­ ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain types of wood, and metal). Inhaling or coming into contact with this dust may represent a hazard for operating personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations that apply in your coun­ try. Wear a P2 dust mask to protect your health.– Wear suitable personal protective equip­ment: Ear protection, protective goggles, dust mask for work that generates dust, protective gloves for working with rough materials and for changing tools.

CAUTION! The power tool can jam and cause sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!– If a tool becomes stuck in the material, it can be removed simply by reversing the ro­ national direction of the machine.– Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may cause a short circuit and fire.– Do not lock the on/off switch in place per­manently.– Do not use power supply units or third-party battery packs to operate cordless power tools. Do not use third-party charg­ ers to charge the battery packs. The use of accessories not expressly authorized by the manufacturer can result in electric shocks and/or serious accidents.

Emission levelsThe levels determined in accordance with EN 60745 are typical:Hammer drilling in concreteSound pressure level LPA = 90 dB(A)Sound power level LWA = 101 dB(A)Uncertainty K = 3 dB

CAUTIONNoise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing► Use ear protection.Vibration emission level ah (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 60745:Hammer drilling in concrete ah = 14.2 m/s 2K=1.5 m/s2The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)– are used to compare machines.– They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise load during operation.– They represent the primary applications of the power tool.An increase is possible in other applications, with other insertion tools, or if the machine is not maintained adequately. Take note of the machine’s idling and downtimes.

Changing the battery packInserting the battery pack [2 A]Removing the battery pack [2 B]Lighting and battery capacity indicator

The LED [1-10] provides light and acts as a battery capacity indicator [1-9].When the on/off switch [1-4] is pressed, the LED automatically displays the state of charge of the battery pack (not for NiCd and NiMH bat­tery packs).

Green LED – steady light: State of charge > 60%Green LED – flashing slowly: State of charge 30%–60%Green LED – flashing quickly: State of charge  0%–30%Yellow LED – steady light: Battery is flatRed LED – steady light: Temperature of the bat­tery, electronics or motor is outside the permitted range.Red LED – flashing: General fault indicator, e.g. not in full contact, short cir­cuit, faulty battery pack, etc.

When the battery pack is empty, or if there is a power failure or the mains plug is re­ moved, move the on/off switch immediate­ ly to the Off position. This prevents uncon­ trolled restarting.Further information about the charger and battery pack with capacity indicator can be found in the corresponding operating manual.
