f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR DIAMOND DRILLS
General Information for Diamond Drills
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
The safety and operating instructions for the drill stand and the accessories being used are to be strictly
observed!
Store the machine in a safe manner when not being used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from being operated by untrained persons.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable is damaged while working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
