SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMPACT DRILLS
GENERAL
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
• Wear ear protectors (exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss)
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool
(loss of control can cause personal injury)
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such
as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and
work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with

BEFORE USE

• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with
a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
