Drill safety warnings
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• 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.
• The locking screw for the ground/earth cable may never be loosened, otherwise there is acute
danger to life!
• Check the ground (earth) connection of the electrical plug.
• Never use the machine without a GFCI or PRCD fault-current safety switch.
• Ensure that no water is allowed to get into the motor unit during operation.
• If you detect a leak in any part of the water supply system, shut the machine down immediately
and repair the fault. Water pressure should not exceed 70 psi (4 bar).
• Take care not to damage gas, water, power and other conduits in the area of the drilling operation.
Drain or shut off these conduits as required.
• Block off the working area and place warning signs on both sides of the wall when drilling through
from one side to the other.
• Take appropriate precautions to ensure that, in the event of a drilling core dropping out, no
personal injury or material damage will result.
• When drilling hollow components, check the flow route of the cooling water in order to prevent
damage.
• WARNING: Pull the plug out of the socket before making device settings or changing accessories.
Many accidents are caused by accidental starting of power tools.
• When mounting the stand, fix the base to a firm, level, surface or wall. The power tool cannot be
guided evenly and safely if the base can slip or shake.
• This diamond core drill cannot be used for overhead drilling.
WARNING: Hazardous situation due to broken parts: Always check core bits before using. Deformed or
damaged drill core bits must not be used;
WARNING: Use of non-recommended cutting tools can lead to injuries due to the loss of control. Only
use drill core bits designed for this machine only. Follow the minimum and maximum diameter given on
the specifications page and do not exceed the length of the core bits beyond the maximum allowed by
the drill stand. (This is usually 24" or 750mm)
WARNING: Incorrect clamping and positioning of the drill core bit may lead to dangerous situations
by broken and ejected parts of the drill core bit. Core bits must be assembled correctly. Follow the
instructions below under "Fastening the Core Bit"
WARNING: It is necessary to always wear suitable personal protective equipment, including:
• Hearing protection, to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss,
• Gloves, when handling core bits or rough materials, to reduce injuries by sharp edges,
• Safety glasses, to prevent injuries by flying particles,
• Non-slipping footwear, to prevent injuries caused by slippery surfaces;
WARNING: A wrongly assembled machine may cause a hazardous situation. Follow the instructions
provided with the drill stand on how to fix the machine into the stand and fixing to the material to be
drilled; See also the instructions below under "Mounting to a Drilling Stand"
