WARNING!
If you bypass, remove or override a safety device in any other way, you are endangering
yourself and other persons working with the bench drill. The possible consequences
are:
injuries due to components or workpieces flying off at high speed,
contact with rotating parts and
fatal electrocution.
The bench drill includes the following safety devices:
an emergency stop switch,
a drilling table with grooves for fixing the workpiece or a vice,
a fixed protective cover for the pulleys with position switch,
a foldable drill chuck guard.
WARNING!
Although the isolating safety devices provided and delivered with the machine are
designed to reduce the risks of workpieces being ejected or parts of tools or workpieces
breaking off, they cannot eliminate these risks completely. Always work carefully and
observe the limits of the machining process.
