"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 with rotary hammers
▶
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.
Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶
Modification of the power tool is not permitted.
▶
Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶
Check that the side handle is fitted correctly and tightened securely.
▶
Wear protective gloves when changing accessory tools, because the accessory tool and the tool
holder get hot during use.
▶
Wear a dust mask.
▶
Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your
fingers during breaks between working.
▶
The power tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special
training.
▶
Keep the power tool out of reach of children.
▶
Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after bringing it into position
at the workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating drill bits or other accessories, may
lead to injury.
▶
Always lead the supply cord and extension cord away from the power tool to the rear while
working. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord while working.
▶
Dust from materials, such as paint containing lead, some wood species, concrete / masonry /
stone containing silica, and minerals as well as metal, may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation
of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases to the operator or
bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust,
especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative).
Material containing asbestos may be handled only by specialists. Use a dust removal system
whenever possible. To achieve a high level of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner.
When indicated, wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Ensure that
the workplace is well ventilated. Follow national requirements for the materials you want to
work with.
Careful handling and use of power tools
▶
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands remain free to operate the power tool.
▶
Ensure that the accessory tools used are compatible with the tool-holder system and that
they are correctly secured in the tool holder.
▶
In the event of a power failure or interruption in the electric supply, switch the power tool
off, unplug the supply cord and release the switch lockbutton (if applicable). This will prevent
accidental restarting when the electric power returns.
▶
Avoid applying an excessive amount of grease to the drill bit connection end. Grease may
otherwise be forced out of the chuck when the power tool is in operation.
Electrical safety
▶
Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that
no concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts of the
