Special Safety Instructions
Please read and be sure to understand all safety and working information for the drill mo-
tor being used!
Please observe the pertinent accident prevention regulations issued by the government safety
organisation at the start of operation and when working with and carrying out maintenance work
on the equipment.
Switch off water, gas and electricity lines within the drilling area.
Make sure that facilities and equipment are not damaged and people not injured by cooling wa-
ter or drill cores falling from the borehole discharge side. This applies in particular to inhabited
buildings.
Safeguard the core drill unit additionally against falling downward when drilling wall and over-
head boreholes. The hand grip is not designed for the high impact following a fall and must not
be used as a rope eye or for transportation and securing purposes.
