Electrical safety
●
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
●
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
●
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
●
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
●
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
●
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
●
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
●
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
●
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
●
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
●
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
●
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
●
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
●
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool
’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
●
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
●
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, 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 situation.
Service
●
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hammer Safety Warnings
●
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
●
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
●
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
or fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory
and fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
●
When transporting and storing, set the rotational
direction switch to the centre position.
Danger of injury
when accidentally actuating the On/Off switch.
●
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can
lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage.
●
Before switching on the power tool, make sure that
the application tool moves freely.
When switching on
with a blocked drilling tool, high torque reaction can occur.
●
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with
both hands and provide for a secure stance.
The power tool is
guided more secure with both hands.
●
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
●
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic, a
suitable SDS-Quick tool or an application tool with hexagon shank
can be used.
●
Inserting SDS-Quick Drilling Tools:
Check the latching by
pulling the tool.
●
The maximum torque is reached only in the screwdriving
operating mode (1. gear). The maximum no-load speed is
reached only in the operating modes drilling and hammer drilling.
●
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The
dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of drilling dust
into the tool holder during operation. When inserting the tool, pay
attention that the dust protection cap is not damaged.
●
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s
switched off.
Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
●
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down.
The tool insert
can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
●
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using
it.
●
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off
switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack.
Carrying the power tool with your finger on the
On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
●
Do not open the battery.
Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous
intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
●
In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints.
The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
