While operating
Keep third parties away from the power tool's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to 300 lux),
thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and clothing.
Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing protection, anti-
slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing, gloves and helmet
properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during the appliance operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler suit. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
The control and safety devices installed must not be removed
or inhibited.
To avoid accidents, you should also take into consideration the
following precautions and procedures:
▪ The rotating accessories speed of the impact drill must be at
least equal to the maximum speed stated in the technical
specifications;
▪ When operating the impact drill, place yourself in a stable
position and always keep your balance. Hold the appliance
firmly to ensure continuous operation and withstand
unexpected situations, such as kickback;
▪ The kickback is a sudden reaction that happens when the
power tool is switched on and the rotating accessory gets
jammed. The rotating accessory kickback forces the power
tool to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation of the
accessory;
▪ The kickback occurs due to an incorrect use of the power tool
or due to an improper working procedure which can cause
serious injuries to the user. Loss of control can result in
serious injury. To avoid the kickback, the following
precautions must be considered:
- Always use the auxiliary handle to have as much control as
possible over kickback or reaction torques while operating
the equipment;
-Place the rotating accessory in the correct position and keep
it securely locked in place;
- Do not position your body in the area where power tool will
move if kickback occurs;

▪ Never put your hands near the rotating attachment. Keep
your hands away from the rotating parts;
▪ When the rotating accessory gets jammed, switch off the
tool immediately. If you lose control of the power tool,
unplug the power cord.
▪ To avoid displacements or projections use a fixing device or
a bench vice to ensure a safe performance; Place/maintain
the workpiece in a correct and stable position;
▪ Never put the tool down before the rotating accessory has
completely stopped. The rotating accessory may grab the
surface, causing you to lose control of the power tool;
▪ Make sure that the ventilation slots are not clogged. Do not
place any objects over the slots;
▪ Drills and the impact drill itself may become too hot during
operation. Avoid touching them, they can cause severe
burns;
▪ Make sure that you don't damage the electrical circuits, gas
and water pipes when operating the equipment. Any
damage to these installations can cause fire, explosion,
electric shock or property damage;
▪ Avoid using the impact drill on surfaces coated with paints
containing lead or other materials harmful to health. Any
contact or inhalation of dust may cause allergic reactions and
/ or breathing disorders. Wear a mask and work with a dust
extraction device if the power tool allows so;
▪ Materials containing asbestos cannot be worked. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
