SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF OPERATING HAZARDS
Before starting work make sure that the hands are protected against: impacts, crushing, hits, cuts,
abrasions and heat. The operating and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle the
bulk, the weight, the power and/or the torque of the machine. Do not use the machine if you have taken
any medication or drugs, after drinking alcohol or with any other constraints on your vision, reaction time
or judgment. Work in the best possible position so that you can react with both hands to any normal or
unexpected movements of the machine. Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing in order
to avoid improper strain and to be able to support the reaction torque of the machine. If you cannot safely
support the reaction torque of the machine, use a torque reaction bar (e.g. linear stand, telescopic arm,
holding fixture/ holder-on, support grip).
Additionally observe the following:
• Operate the machine only after having carefully read the operation manual.
• Use drill bits appropriate for the application with this machine.
• The work place has to be secured according to the instructions, in order to avoid injury to persons
nearby due to projectiles coming-off.
• The machine is for hand-held operation only.
• Consider the producer's specification when selecting the drill bit.
• Check the secure fixing of drill chuck and drill bit before starting work.
• Remove the drill chuck key 7 (if available) before starting the machine (see fig. 3).
• If the machine blocks, higher reaction torques can occur. Blocking can be caused by: overload, tilting of
the drill bit in the work piece or when penetrating the material to be drilled. Do not let the drill bit rumble
on the work piece, as this will most likely increase the vibration. When drilling through-holes, reduce the
contact pressure shortly before the drill bit penetrates the material (for thin walled work pieces there is
the risk that the drill hitches the work piece and lifts it.)
• It is possible that the drill bit keeps on running after the machine has been switched off. Wait until it
stops and deposit the hand-held machine in a secure position.
• Never stop the drill chuck or the drill bit by hand.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS
CAUTION – Loose clothing, personal jewellery (e.g. necklace), scarves/ ties, long hair or
gloves can get caught up in the machine tool or accessories and thus cause severe injuries
(lack of breath by throttling, abrasions, skin injuries and/ or cuts and lacerations).
Wear suitable, close fitting work clothing!
Wear a hair net, if you have long hair.
When handling the machine, jewellery, necklaces, etc. have to be removed or are forbidden,
respectively.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF NOISE HAZARDS
Always wear hearing protection (EN 352) – This refers to the operator, as well as to any
other person within the vicinity of the machine. Observe the instructions of the employer and of
the professional association.
High noise levels during operation can cause permanent hearing problems such as tinnitus
(ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears), hardness of hearing or even deafness.
