Warning:
a certain degree of noise exposure is unavoidable when using this drill. Schedule
noise-intensive work to be performed during approved and suitable times. Comply with
any rest periods and limit the duration of work to the necessary minimum. Suitable ear
protectors should be worn for your personal protection and the protection of anyone
else in the vicinity.
II. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS
WARNING:
Read all of the safety precautions and instructions. Failure to observe the safety
precautions and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety precautions and instructions in a secure place for future reference.
The term "power tool" used in these safety precautions refers to mains-operated tools
(with a mains cable) and battery-operated tools (without a mains cable).
1) Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your working environment clean and well illuminated. Cluttered or unlit working
environments can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in explosive atmospheres where there is a presence of flammable
liquids, gas or dust. Power tools generate sparks which can ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance when operating the power tool. Distractions can
make you lose control of the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The connecting plug used by the power tool must be suitable for the power socket. The plug
should not be modified in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs in conjunction with earthed
power tools. Unmodified plugs and corresponding power sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. The ingress of water into a power tool
increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable for any purpose other than that for which it is intended; i.e. do not use it to
carry or suspend the power tool or use it to pull the plug from the power socket. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving power tool parts. Damaged or entangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
