●
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.
●
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
●
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.
●
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.
●
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 energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
●
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.
●
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
●
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.
●
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 and care
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
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.
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.
OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying out maintenance work on the motor. Regularly clean the machine
housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
●
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
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
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.
Safety notices specific to drills
Hold the device by the insulated handle
surfaces when you are undertaking work where there
is the danger of the screw striking hidden electricity
cables or the device's mains lead. Contact of the screw
with a live wire could cause metal parts of the device to
become live and lead to electric shock.
●
Children or persons who lack the knowledge or
experience to use the device or whose physical, sensory or
intellectual capacities are limited must never be allowed to
use the device without supervision or instruction by a
person responsible for their safety. Children must never be
allowed to play with the device.
●
Securely support the workpiece. A workpiece held in a
clamp or vice is kept more securely in place than one held
by your hand.
POISONOUS DUSTS!
Harmful / noxious dusts generated from your work
represent a risk to the health of the person operating the
device and to anyone near the work area. Wear safety
glasses and a dust mask!
●
Do not drill any material containing asbestos. Asbestos is
a known carcinogen.
●
Hold the electrical power tool firmly. High reaction torques
may occur momentarily during tightening or loosening of
screws.
●
If the inserted tool jams, switch off the electrical power
tool immediately. Be prepared for high reaction torques as
they may cause kickback. The inserted tool may jam if the
electrical power tool is overloaded or is held at an angle to
the workpiece.
●
Before you carry out any tasks on the device, transport or
store it, make sure that the direction of rotation switch is in
the middle position (lock). To prevent the device from
starting up unintentionally
