3. General Safety Information
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating
instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Always include these documents when passing on
your power tool
4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Safety instructions for all operations
a) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
b) Use the additional handle. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
c) Brace the power tool properly before use.
This power tool produces a high output torque. If the
power tool is not braced properly during operation,
loss of control may occur, resulting in personal
injury.
4.2 Safety instructions when using long drill
bits:
a) Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with
the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage and loss of control,
resulting in personal injury.
4.3 Additional safety instructions
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Take care to avoid gas, electricity, and water
supplies!
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
Keep your hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at a standstill.
Caution must be exercised when driving screws into
hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break or high reverse torques may build up.
High forces are released if the tool jams or catches.
Always hold the machine firmly, adopt a steady
stance and focus on your work.
Secure small workpieces, for example by clamping
them in a vice.
Do not keep the ventilation slots closed.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
