• Only operate the machine after having carefully read the operation manual.
• Only use drilling tools appropriate for the application with this machine.
• The work place has to be secured according to the instructions, in order to avoid injury to
persons nearby due to projectiles coming-off. The machine is for hand-held operation only. All
other parts of the body and extremities have to be kept in reasonable distance.
• Read carefully the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure that the drilling tool is appropriate
for the application and that it has the correct dimensions.
• Restrictions for use and other instructions by the manufacturer, which are contained in the
documents supplied.
• Check the secure fixing of drill chuck and drilling tool before starting work.
• Remove the wrench 7 (if available) before starting the machine (see fig. 3).
• If the machine blocks, higher reaction torques can occur. Blocking can be caused by:
overload, tilting of the drill in the work piece or when penetrating the material to be drilled. Do
not let the drill rumble on the work piece, as this will most likely increase the vibration. Reduce
the contact pressure shortly before the drilling tool drills through the material (for thin walled work
pieces there is the risk that the drill hitches the work piece and lifts it.) It is possible that the drilling
tool keeps on running after the machine has been switched off. Deposit hand-held machines in a
secure position and wait until it stops, without applying any pressure to the surface.
• Never stop the drill chuck or the drill by hand.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS
CAUTION
– Loose clothing, personal jewellery (e.g. necklace), scarves/ ties, long hair
or gloves can get caught up in the machine tool or accessories and thus cause severe injuries (lack of
breath by throttling, abrasions, skin injuries and/ or cuts and lacerations).
Wear suitable, close fitting work clothing!
Wear a hair net, if you have long hair.
When handling the machine, jewellery, necklaces, etc. have to be removed or are forbidden,
respectively.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF NOISE HAZARDS
Always wear hearing protection (EN 352)
– This refers to the operator, as well as to
any other person within the vicinity of the machine. Observe the instructions of the employer and of
the professional association.
High noise levels during operation can cause permanent hearing problems such as tinnitus
(ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears), hardness of hearing or even deafness.
• Before starting work, ensure that the provided, respectively the factory-made, sound absorbers
are mounted and in proper condition.
• If possible, use sound absorbing material, in order to avoid ringing noise at the work pieces.
