2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMPACT DRILLS
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills (exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss).
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool (loss of control can cause personal
injury).
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the accessory 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 shock the operator); Always use auxiliary handle F(Fig.2)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or call the local utility company
for assistance (contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion; penetrating a water pipe will
cause property damage or an electrical shock).
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your
workpiece; Remove them before you start working.
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool.
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is
held more securely than by hand).
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving
parts have come to a complete standstill.
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps.
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool
and disconnect the plug.
• We can assure flawless functioning of the tool only when original accessories are
used.
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching at least the highest
no-load speed of the tool.
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered
carcinogenic).
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals
and metal may be harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders);
Wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable.
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust)
especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning; Wear a dust mask
and work with a dust extraction device when connectable.
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work
with.
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but
immediately disconnect the plug.
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; Have it replaced by a qualified
person.
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the
nameplate of the tool (tools with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected
to a 220V supply).
• If the drill bit becomes unexpectedly jammed (causing a sudden, dangerous
reaction), immediately switch off the tool.
• Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming (especially when drilling
metals); Always use auxiliary handle F (Fig.2) and take a secure stance.
• Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or
changing any accessory.
