Instructions for use
u
Always observe the safety instructions and ap-
plicable regulations.
u
Be aware of the location of pipework and wir-
ing.
u
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool.
Excessive force does not speed up drilling but
decreases tool performance and may shorten
tool life.
u
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
u
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
u
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 shock the operator.
u
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
Prior to operation
u
Insert the appropriate bit.
u
Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.
