Safety instructions
Danger
Electrical appliances may be
dangerous if used incorrectly.
Therefore, always observe the
safety instructions summarised in
this chapter and the safety
regulations applicable in the
respective country of use!
3.1
Safety instructions for all types of work
-
Wear ear protectors during the use of drill
drivers.
Exposure to noise can cause loss of
hearing.
-
Always hold the appliance by the insulated
gripping surfaces when carrying out work
during which the bit may hit concealed power
lines.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
3.2
Safety instructions for the use of long drill
bits
-
Always start drilling at low speed and with the
drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
-
On no account may you work at a speed that
exceeds the maximum speed permitted for the
drill bit.
At higher speeds, the drill bit can easily
bend if allowed to turn freely (without contact with
the workpiece); this can lead to injuries.
-
Do not apply excessive pressure and only
apply pressure in the longitudinal direction to
the drill bit.
Drill bits can bend and thus break or
lead to a loss of control and injuries.
3.3
Additional safety instructions
-
Ensure that the machine is switched off when you
push in the rechargeable battery.

Remove the rechargeable batteries from the
machine before carrying out any setting, retooling,
maintenance or cleaning tasks.

Dust originating from materials such as leaded
paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can
be harmful to health. Touching or inhaling these
dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory disorders in the user or persons staying
in the vicinity.
-
As far as possible, make use of a dust extraction
system.
-
Provide for good ventilation of the workplace.
-
It is recommended to wear a respirator mask with
filter class P2.

Observe the regulations valid in your country for
the materials to be machined.

Secure the workpiece against shifting, e. g. by
means of fastening devices.
