Festool PDC 18/4, Original Instructions Manual

Page: 14 / 90

–
Do not use power supply units or third-
party battery packs to operate cordless
power tools. Do not use third-party charg­
ers to charge the battery packs. The use of
accessories not expressly authorised by the
manufacturer can result in electric shocks
and/or serious accidents.
–
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
– Use a dust extractor when working with
dust.
2.3 Safety instructions when using long
drill bits
– a) Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if al­
lowed to rotate freely without contacting
the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
–
b) Always start drilling at low speed and
with the bit tip in contact with the work­
piece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to
bend if allowed to rotate freely without con­
tacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
–
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with
the bit and do not apply excessive pres­
sure. Bits can bend causing breakage or
loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
2.4 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance with
EN 62841 are typically:
Drilling
Sound pressure level
L
PA
= 63 dB(A)
Sound power level L
WA
= 74 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 5 dB
Impact drilling
Sound pressure level
L
PA
= 95 dB(A)
Sound power level L
WA
= 106 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 3 dB
Fastening
Sound pressure level
L
PA
= 60 dB(A)
Sound power level L
WA
= 71 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 3 dB
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a
h
(vector sum for
three directions) and uncertainty K measured in
accordance with EN 62841:
Drilling in metal
a
h
= 3 m/s 2
K = 1.5 m/s 2
Impact drilling into concrete
a
h
= 18 m/s 2
K = 1.5 m/s
2
Fastening
a
h
= 3 m/s
2
K = 1.5 m/s 2
The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
–
are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise
load during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of
the power tool.
CAUTION
The emission values may deviate from the
specified values. This is dependent on how
the tool is used and the type of workpiece
being machined.
► The actual load during the entire operating
cycle must be evaluated.
► Depending on the actual load, suitable pro­
tective measures must be defined in order
to protect the operator.
3 Intended use
Cordless impact drills are suitable for
–
drilling in metal, wood, plastic and similar
materials,
– impact drilling into walls, concrete and
similar building materials,
– inserting and tightening screws.
– intended for use with BP Festool battery
packs of the same voltage class.
The user is liable for damage and acci­
dents caused by improper and non-inten­
ded use; this also includes damage and wear
caused by continuous industrial operation.
