Residual risks

Residual risks may also arise owing
to the design of the machine relat-
ing to its intended purpose even if
the machine is used properly and in
compliance with all relevant safety
regulations; e.g.:
Touching the bit during drilling operations.
Bit breakage.
Touching live parts with the housing open and the
mains plug not removed.
Hearing can be impaired when working for long
periods without ear protectors.
Emission of hazardous dust when working with
wood, asbestos-containing materials and stones
with crystalline sillicic acid.

Safety instructions

If used incorrectly, machines can be
dangerous. For this reason, always
comply with the safety instructions
summarized in this chapter, the acci-
dent prevention regulations of the rele-
vant liability insurance associations or
equivalent, and the safety regulations
applicable in the country concerned!
General instructions:
Never work without the protective equipment
prescribed for the relevant operation and do not
make any modifications to the machine that
could undermine safety.
Children and young persons must not operate
this machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised
by an expert.
Always be aware of environmental influences.
Do not allow the machine to be exposed to the
rain and do not use the machine in a damp or
wet environment, or in the vicinity of inflam-
mable liquids or gases.
Chips or splinters must not be removed if the
machine is still in operation.
Observe electrical wires, gas or water lines when
carrying out works on the wall, ceiling or floor.
When operating the machine outdoors, use of an
earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recommended.
Damaged cables or plugs must be renewed
immediately.
Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
transporting and storing the machine, do not
wind the cable around the machine.
Dusts forming when working with asbestos-con-
taining materials and stones with crystalline sil-
licic acid are hazardous. Adhere to the accident
prevention regulations VBG 119 of the relevant
liability insurance association.
Store the machine in the dry under lock and key
and out of reach of children.
Instructions on the use of personal safety equip-
ment:
Always wear protective goggles and solid, anti-
slip footwear when working with the machine.
Always wear close-fitting industrial clothing and
remove rings, bracelets and watches. With long
hair, a respective hair protection is required.
The sound pressure level at the ear may exceed
85 dB (A). Operators should therefore wear ear
protectors.
Instructions on operation:
Provide an uncluttered, anti-slip location with
adequate illumination.
Prior to switching on the device, verify that the
tool has been properly clamped.
Never work with pieces which are too big or too
small for the machine´s capacity.
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece against
slipping and tipping over (e.g. with screw clamps).
Examine the workpiece for foreign objects.
When carrying out any works on the device,
never reach below the workpiece (risk of injury!).
Check the device prior to each use. If you detect
any damage, do not continue working on the
device. Repairs may only be executed by expert
personnel. Never open the device yourself.
Before tool changes, making adjustments and
eliminating malfunctions (including the removal
of trapped chips), pull out the mains plug.
Be careful when screwing in long screws.
Risk of sliding down!
For screwing operations, use the 1
work at low speed.
