Page: 37 / 40

●
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areasinvite accidents.
●
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases ordust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
●
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
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
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
●
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
●
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
●
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
●
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
● 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
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 health and cause allergic reactions,
lead to respiratory infections and/or cancer.
Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
●
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
●
If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
●
When switching on with a blocked drilling tool, high
