For your Safety
•
Never put down the power tool until the insert tool has come to a complete
standstill.
The rotating insert tool can come into contact with the surface on which the power
tool is placed, which could cause you to lose control of the power tool.
•
Do not leave the power tool running while you are carrying it.
Your clothing can get caught by inadvertent contact with the rotating insert tool and
the insert tool can drill into your body.
•
If the machine is switched on, do not direct insert tools towards your own or
other people's bodies. Do not touch or take hold of the tools.
•
Unlock the ON/OFF switch and move it into the OFF position if the power sup-
ply is interrupted, e.g. due to power failure or disconnecting the mains plug.
This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
Hazards when using and handling the power tool
•
If the machine is used for hand-held drilling, always hold both handles firmly
when switching on and while working with the machine. (The additional handle
must be tightly screwed onto the drill!). When switching on and while working
with the machine, expect reaction torques (e.g. due to sudden jamming or
breakage of the insert tool).
•
The On / Off switch must not be locked if using the drill for hand-held drilling.
•
Do not use any accessories. which have not been especially provided and rec-
ommended for this power tool by the manufacturer.
Just because you can attach the accessories to your power tool is not a guarantee of
safe use.
•
The allowable speed of the insert tool must be at least as high as the maximum
speed given on the power tool.
Accessories which rotate faster than approved can break and fly off the tool.
•
Change insert tools carefully and only use the mounting tools provided, if they
are in perfect condition. Disconnect the mains plug before changing the insert
tool.
Use of the mounting tool provided prevents damage to the power tool and insert tool.
•
Never use damaged insert tools. Before each use, check insert tools for splin-
ters and cracks. If the power tool or insert tool is dropped or falls, check
whether it is damaged, or use an undamaged insert tool. If you have checked
and inserted the insert tool, keep yourself and other people nearby outside the
plane of the rotating insert tool and let the power tool run at maximum speed
for one minute.
Most damaged insert tools break during this test period.
•
Do not expose power tools to extreme heat and cold.
Mechanical and electrical damage can occur during extreme heat and/or cold.
