b) 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 work-
piece, resulting in personal injury.
c) 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.

Diamond drill safety warnings
a) When performing drilling that requires the use of water, route the water away from the
operator's work area or use a liquid collection device. Such precautionary measures
keep the operator's work area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
b) Operate power tool by insulated grasping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting acces-
sory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
c) Wear hearing protection when diamond drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
d) When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and turn off the tool. In-
vestigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit jamming.
e) When restarting a diamond drill in the workpiece check that the bit rotates freely be-
fore starting. If the bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool, or may cause the
diamond drill to release from the workpiece.
f)
When securing the drill stand with anchors and fasteners to the workpiece, ensure
that the anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining the machine during use.
If the workpiece is weak or porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill stand to release
from the workpiece.
g) When securing the drill stand with a vacuum pad to the workpiece, install the pad on
a smooth, clean, non-porous surface. Do not secure to laminated surfaces such as
tiles and composite coating. If the workpiece is not smooth, flat or well affixed, the pad
may pull away from the workpiece.
h) Ensure there is sufficient vacuum before and during drilling. If the vacuum is insuffi-
cient, the pad may release from the workpiece.
i)
Never perform drilling with the machine secured by the vacuum pad only, except
when drilling downwards. If the vacuum is lost, the pad will release from the workpiece.
j)
When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to protect persons and the work area
on the other side. The bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the other
side.
k) Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with water supply. Water entering the power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Special safety instructions
Please wear hearing protection. Exposure to noise can lead to loss of hearing.
Power sockets in outside areas must be fitted with residual current circuit-breakers. This is an
installation regulation requirement for your electric system. Please be sure to observe this when
using the equipment.
Always wear protective goggles when working with the equipment. We recommend protective
gloves, sturdy, non-slip shoes and an apron.
Shavings or chips must not be removed when the equipment is running.
Dust that arises during work is often harmful to health and should not be allowed to enter the
body. Please wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Please remove the plug from the electric socket before all work on the equipment.
Be sure the equipment is switched off before connecting it to the electric socket.
Always keep the connecting cable away from the sphere of action of the equipment. Always
guide the cable away from the equipment to the rear.
