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 turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
en
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
f)
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.
5.1.4 Power tool use and 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
accessories,
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 main-
tained 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 opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5.1.5 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.

any adjustments,
or storing power tools. Such
5.2 Proper organization of the work area
a) Approval must be obtained from the site engineer
or architect prior to beginning drilling work. Drilling
work on buildings and other structures may influence
the statics of the structure, especially when steel
reinforcing bars or load-bearing components are cut
through.
b) When drilling through walls, cover the area behind
the wall, as material or the core may fall out on
the other side of the wall. When drilling through
ceilings, secure (cover) the area below as drilled
material or the core may drop out and fall down.
c) Place the mounting device on a solid, flat and level
surface. If the mounting device can slip or wobble,
the machine cannot be guided smoothly and safely.
d) Check the nature of the surface. Rough surfaces
may reduce holding power. Coatings or composite
materials may pull away from the surface while you
are working.
e) Do not overload the mounting device and do not
use it as a substitute for a ladder or platform.
Overloading the mounting device or standing on it
may shift its center of gravity to a higher position,
causing it to tip over.
f) Wear respiratory protection if the work causes
changing
dust.
g) It is recommended that rubber gloves and non-
skid shoes are worn when working outdoors.
h) Keep the supply cord, extension cord, suction
hose and vacuum hose away from rotating parts.
i) Do not work from a ladder.

5.2.1 General safety rules

a) Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
b) Never leave the machine unattended.
c) Store machines in a secure place when not in use.
When not in use, machines must be stored in a
dry, high place or locked away out of reach of
children.
d) Children must be instructed not to play with the
machine.
e) The machine is not intended for use by children,
by debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
f) Never operate the machine without the supplied
PRCD (machines without PRCD: Never operate
the machine without an isolating transformer).
Test the PRCD each time before use.
