Drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
▶ Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
▶ Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds,
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
▶ 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 workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
▶ 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.
2.3
Additional safety precautions for screwdrivers
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you
accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and installed
accessories are secure.
▶ If the work involves breaking right through, take the appropriate safety measures on the opposite side.
Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down and injure other persons.
▶ The product can affect your balance when wall break-through occurs suddenly. Make sure you have
a firm footing and keep your balance when you do break-through work on walls or ceilings.
▶ Do not use blunted bits.
▶ Use auxiliary handles supplied with the product. Loss of control can cause personal injury. Make sure
that the auxiliary handle is firmly seated and securely installed.
▶ Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position.
▶ Always hold the tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection and suitable respiratory protection while the product
is in use.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LED) of the product and do not aim the beam at other persons'
faces. Risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before you lay it down.
