PERSONAL SAFETY
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR IMPACT DRILL
a. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory or fastener
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory and fasteners contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
b. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied
with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
c. Use appropriate detectors to determine
if utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric
lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to
e. Do not overreach.Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly.Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. lf devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage.
d. Switch off the power tool immediately
when the tool insert jams. Be prepared
for high reaction torque that can cause
kickback. The tool insert jams when:
- the power tool is subject to overload or
- it becomes wedged in the work-piece.
e. Hold the machine with a firm grip. High
reaction torque can briefly occur while
driving in and loosening screws.
f. Secure the work-piece. A work-piece
clamped with clamping devices or in a
vice is held more secure than by hand.
