Drill safety warnings
• Hold power tool by 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.
• Check the ground (earth) connection of the electrical plug.
• Never use the machine without a PRCD fault-current safety switch.
• Always check the PRCD fault-current safety switch for correct functioning before starting a drilling
operation.
• Ensure that no water is allowed to get into the motor unit during operation.
• If you detect a leak in any part of the water supply system, shut the machine down immediately
and repair the fault. Water pressure should not exceed 70 psi (4 bar).
• Take care not to damage gas, water, power and other conduits in the area of the drilling operation.
Drain or shut off these conduits as required.
• Block off the working area and place warning signs on both sides of the wall when drilling through
from one side to the other.
• Take appropriate precautions to ensure that, in the event of a drilling core dropping out, no
personal injury or material damage will result.
• When drilling hollow components, check the flow route of the cooling water in order to prevent
damage.
• WARNING: Pull the plug out of the socket before making device settings or changing accessories.
