SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION INSTRUCTIONS
The safety and accident prevention instructions are reported in the "SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" booklet which forms an integral part of these documents;
the operating instructions only indicate additional information required speci-
fically for use of the tool.
During machine use, dust, chips and shavings may form or touch rotating ma-
chine parts: due to potential risks, we recommend the constant use of P.S.D.
(personal safety devices such as: gloves, headphones, goggles, face masks,
etc.) according to laws in force to prevent or reduce accident probability.
Extended machine use may cause hearing damage: wear specific safety
headphones.
Drill bits can reach high temperatures: pay attention to injury hazards to per-
sons or things or fire hazards.
Before starting, make sure that the tool is held firmly and not in contact with
the work surface. Make sure that work material is sufficiently secured and ob-
serve the safety regulations that apply to the work material.
Remove the batteries when the tool is not in use, before maintenance and du-
ring accessory changes.
Warning: the appliance continues to work for a few seconds after it has been
switched off!

Before use make sure the drill bit and screwdriver insert operating characteri-
stics are compatible with tool characteristics. Make sure that the bits and in-
serts are correctly assembled and tightened. Also make sure that the tool,
batteries and accessories are handled and stored with care according to the
manufacturer's indications. The machine must not be operated in humid envi-
ronments or in the presence of flammable gas or liquids.
These tools were designed to tighten screws with screwdriver inserts and to
drill holes in the materials indicated in the technical data table, according to
its restrictions. In the event of improper use, the user is fully liable for any da-
mages or accidents.
SPECIFIC SAFETY NORMS FOR THE BATTERIES
This machine's electrical motor is equipped to be powered at a certain volta-
ge: only batteries that have the same voltage as the machine must be used!
Neglect to observe these regulations may cause serious damage to the ma-
chine and persons or things. The nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries
supplied with the machine contain substances that may pollute the environ-
ment or cause serious damage to persons, animals and things: the following
precautions must be strictly observed:
- do not expose batteries to temperatures over 50°C, do not expose them to
direct sunlight or flames: they could explode;
- do not throw the batteries in water and do not preserve them in humid envi-
ronments;
- only dispose used batteries in specific recycling bins and not with regular
waste;
- if these bins are not available, contact your local Sanitation services or re-
turn used batteries to the RUPES dealer who will dispose of them according
to law;
- do not attempt to open or open batteries: its liquid (30% potassium hydroxi-
de solution) is corrosive, toxic if ingested and causes burns.
For skin contact: immediately wash with soap and water and rinse thorou-
ghly. For eye contact: rinse with running water for several minutes keeping
eyelids wide open and seek a physician;
- for any body contact, inhalation or ingestion, always seek immediate first
aid from your local health services or a physician;
