BS 18VC0 / BSS 18VC0
The BSS 18VC0 cordless percussion drill is
intended
– for commercial use in industry and trade,
– for inserting and releasing screws,
– for drilling in wood, metal, ceramic and
plastic,
– for impact drilling in brick, masonry and
stone.
Safety instructions for drills and
drivers
Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory or
the screw may contact hidden wiring or
its own power cord.
The screw contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and cause an electric shock.
Use auxiliary handles if these are
supplied with the power tool. The loss of
control may result in injuries.
Use suitable detectors to detect
concealed power supply cables or
consult your local supply company.
Contact with electric cables may result in
a fire and/or electric shock. A damaged
gas pipe may cause an explosion. Cutting
into a water pipe will cause damage to
property.
Switch off the power tool immediately
when the cutting accessory jams. Be
prepared for high reaction torques which
cause kickback. The cutting accessory
jams when:
– the power tool is overloaded
or
– it snags in the workpiece to be machined.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool.
High reaction torques can occur briefly
when screws are tightened and released.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece is
held more securely in a clamping device or
vice than by hand.
Wait until the power tool has come to
a stop before putting it down. The cutting
accessory may snag, causing the operator
to lose control of the power tool.
Use only original batteries with the
voltage indicated on the type plate of
your power tool. The use of other
batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned
batteries or other makes, increases the risk
of injury and damage to property by
exploding batteries.
Additional safety instruction for
percussion drill (BSS 18VC0)
Wear ear defenders when impact drilling.
The effect of noise may result in loss of
hearing.
Special safety instructions
Before carrying out any work on the power
tool, move the direction preselector
switch (2) to the middle position.
Operate the direction preselector
switch (2) or torque setting turning
dial (5) only when the tool is stopped.
Identify the power tool with stickers only.
Do not drill any holes into the housing.
Noise and vibration
NOTE
The noise and vibration values have been
determined in accordance with EN 62841.
The values are set out in the "Technical
data" table.
WARNING!
The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise and
vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a measurement method
standardised in EN 62841 and may be used
to compare one tool with another. It may be
used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure. The specified vibration emission
level represents the main applications of the
tool.
However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different cutting
accessories or poorly maintained, the
vibration emission level may differ.
This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
To make an accurate estimation of the
vibration exposure level, it is also necessary
