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

WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

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) When working with the power tool wear
hearing protection. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
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.
d) Hold the power tool by the 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.
e) If the accessory jams, stop operating the
feed and switch off the tool. Check the reason for
jamming and eliminate the cause for jammed tool
inserts.
f) If you want to start the drill with the accessory
stuck in the workpiece, check that the
accessory rotates freely before switching on. If
the accessory jams, it may not rotate and this may
overload the tool or cause the drill stand to detach
from the workpiece.
g) When drilling through walls or ceilings,
ensure that people and the work area on the
other side are protected. The accessory can go
beyond the hole and endanger persons there.
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.
