Work Area Safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control
Electrical Safety
a)
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
b)
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
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock
d)
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 or moving parts.
Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock
e)
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
f)
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
a)
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
b)
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
c)
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 energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents
d)
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
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts
g)
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 & Care
a)
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
b)
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
c)
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
d)
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
e)
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
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g)
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
a)
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
Additional Safety for SDS Plus Drills
WARNING:
If you suspect or discover asbestos is present in any area you are working
seek professional advice immediately. Removal of asbestos should be done by a licensed
contractor. Contact the HSE in the UK (www.hse.gov.uk) or your national health and safety
authority in your country for further information about dealing with asbestos. European
Directive 2009/148/EC provides additional information related to exposure to asbestos
at work.
• It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning the type of work
being undertaken., operation and maintenance
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that
operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions
• Masonry drilling or chiselling can create sharp particles that will impact the operator.
Wear impact-resistant safety glasses and protective clothing, including safety boots
• Core drills should only be used with SDS drills featuring a safety clutch to prevent
jamming, which could cause an injury to the operator
• If the safety clutch operates during use, quickly release the trigger and remove the core
drill or bit from the masonry surface being drilled. Do not continue work until the cause
of the safety clutch operating is understood
• Do not operate SDS drills whilst up a ladder or in any location where there is a risk of
falling. SDS drills are heavy and produce strong vibration and high torque in use
• Wear suitable protective anti-vibration gloves that are non-fabric or coated fabric
to prevent loose strands of material catching in the rotating drill bit. Discard gloves
immediately if material is visibly frayed
• Drilling can produce large volumes of dust and debris that may be toxic. Wear
respiratory protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of
FFP2 is recommended
• SDS drills produce high volumes of noise and suitable ear protection must be worn at all
times while operating the tool
• SDS drills produce a very high level of vibration when operating in hammer or chisel
mode. Frequent breaks are advised
• Only use SDS Chisels or Points with SDS drills that can disengage rotary drilling mode
• Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines. Avoid
touching live components or conductors
• Extension cable reels used with this tool must be completely unwound. Minimum
conductor cross section: 1.25mm
2
• Extension reels used outside should be designed for outdoor use and should feature
water-protected sockets and correct cable insulation
• When using an SDS drill outdoors, an RCD device must be used either by connecting to
a socket which incorporates an RCD, or through use of an inline RCD
• Ensure that the chisel or drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck before operating the tool.
Insecure drill bits can be ejected from the machine, causing a hazard
• Ensure lighting is adequate
• Use both hands when operating this tool
• Always use the auxiliary handle supplied with the tool
• Do not place pressure on the tool - to do so could shorten its service life
• Drill bits become hot during operation. Allow to cool prior to handling
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off
before diverting
your attention elsewhere
• Always disconnect the SDS drill from the electric supply before changing a chisel or
drill bit
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts repaired
by a qualified service centre
• Always wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before placing it down
• On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the power source and remove the
chisel/bit from the machine
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary
• Visibly check the tool after use, especially the power cable, which can be damaged by
sharp masonry
• Always fit the dust guard to the bit in use to prevent damage from debris entering the
SDS chuck
• If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately and review your
method of use
