manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situa-
tion.
Service
Always assume a safe standing position and hold
the power tool securely in both hands.
When the drill unexpectedly jams, the machine
kicks back.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
power cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and lead to elec-
tric shock.
Take protective measures if there is danger of for-
mation of combustible or explosive dust during op-
eration that can be hazardous to health.
Example: Some dusts can be carcinogenic. Wear
a dust mask and work with a dust/chip extraction
unit, if possible to connect.
The tool must only be used with the appropriate
guards fitted.
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.
During operation, always ensure that the mains
and extension cable is to the rear away from the
device.
This prevents anyone from tripping over the cable
while working.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and elec-
tric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes damage to
property or electric shock.
The tool insert jams if:
y the power tool becomes overloaded or
y the tool tilts in the workpiece
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific Safety Warnings
Wear hearing protection.
The effects of noise can cause loss of
hearing capacity.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with
the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work on stone containing crys-
talline silica (SiO2).
This will produce dust which is dan-
gerous to your health.
Do not work on materials containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic!

Move the switch to the "OFF" position
before removing the plug from the
plug socket.
When the tool is reconnected to the
mains accidental starting of the
machine is avoided, thus reducing the
risk of accidents.
Tools not in use must be locked away
safely in a dry place out of the reach
of children.
Use appropriate detectors to deter-
mine if utility lines are hidden in the
work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance.
Switch the power tool off immediately
if the tool insert gets jammed. Be pre-
pared for high torque levels if the tool
kicks back.
To mark the machine, do not drill into
the housing.
The protective insulation would be
bridged. Use stickers.
Never use the machine with a dam-
aged cable. Do not touch the dam-
aged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable gets damaged during
operation.
Damaged cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
