SAFETY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting a cut
♦
Stand steady and make sure that your feet and
hands are at a safe distance from the drill bit.
♦
To start the drilling it is advisable to either turn
the core drill to one side in order to obtain an
initial groove and then slowly return to horizontal
or vertical position as soon as the drill bit has
engaged in the material to be drilled, or provide
a guide to stop the drill bit skidding across the
surface of the material to be drilled.
When taking a break
♦
During all breaks you must place the machine in
such a way that there is no risk for it to be
unintentionally started. Make sure to place the
machine on the ground, so that it can not fall.
♦
In the event of a longer break or when leaving the
workplace: Switch off the power supply and then
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
