Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the actual working
conditions and the work that is to be
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those they
are intended to be used for.
SERVICE
The power tool must only be serviced by
qualified personnel using identical spare parts.
This will ensure that the power tool remains
safe to use.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR DRILLING
• Wear ear protection. Exposure to loud
noise can cause hearing impairments.
• Use the support handle, if the tool is
supplied with one. Otherwise, you could
lose control of the tool and be injured.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated grips
when working in areas where the tool
may come into contact with concealed
electrical cables or its own power cord.
Contact with a live cable will cause the
metal parts on the tool to also become
live and give the user an electric shock.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This will ensure
you have better control over the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER
POWER TOOLS
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for the planned work. The tool
does the job better and safer when used at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be
switched on and off with the power
switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or putting the power tool away.
These safety precautions reduce the risk of
accidently starting the power tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of
children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with
the power tool and these instructions,
to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous
if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and do not jam, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If the power tool is
damaged, it must be repaired before
being used again.
