MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
- Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
- 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.
- Use appropriate 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.
- Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool insert
jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that can cause
kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
-old the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque can
briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
- When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with
both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool
is guided more secure with both hands.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
- Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode.
- Always wait until the machine has come to a com-plete stop
before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to
loss of control over the power tool.
- 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.
