▪ While operating the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a se
-
cure stance. The power tool is guided more
securely with both hands.
▪ Prior to operation use suitable detectors to
determine if utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. 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 or may cause
electric shock.
▪ Always keep the cord away from the working
area of the power tool.
▪ Never use the machine with a damaged ca
-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull
the mains plug when the cable is damaged
while operating. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
▪ Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work
whenever possible.
▪ Watch out for the initial torque reaction of the
machine or upon jamming the drill bit. Switch
the power tool immediately upon jamming the
drill bit. Watch out for high reactive torque
which may result in kick-back. The drill bit will
block if the power tool is overloaded or if the
bit jams into the material.
▪ Do not touch the drill bit or the processed part
during operation and immediately after that;
they may be extremely hot. You may get seri-
ous burns.
▪ Keep work area clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys
can burn or explode.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
▪ Always switch the machine off prior to leaving
it down.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any use other than those mentioned
in this Manual will be considered a case of
misuse. The user and not the manufacturer
shall be liable for any damage or injury result-
ing from such cases of misuse.
▪ To use this tool properly, you must observe
the safety regulations, the assembly instruc-
tions and the operating instructions found in
this Manual. All persons who use and service
the machine have to be acquainted with this
Manual and must be informed about its poten-
tial hazards. Children and frail people must not
use this tool. Children should be supervised
at all times if they are in the area in which the
tool is being used. It is also imperative that
