h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Special Safety Instructions
1) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3) 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.
4) 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 explosion.Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
5) 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:
a) the power tool is subject to overload
b) it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
6) When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
7) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
8) Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloy scan burn or
explode.
9) Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
10) Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
11) The equipment complies with the safety regulations required for electrical equipment. Read through the
instructions for use before starting up the equipment.
12) Improper use can lead to personal injury and property damage. Persons who are not familiar with the
instructions, may not operate the equipment.
13) Keep the instructions for use in safe custody.
14) Children should not play with an electrical appliance. Children cannot clean or maintain an electrical appliance
without supervision.
Secure the workpiece
A workpiece held with clamping devices or in a vise is more secure than when held by hand.
Place the machine on the nut/screw only when switched off.
Be careful when screwing in long screws, danger of sliding off.
Always switch the machine off and wait until it has come to a standstill before placing it down.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Overload clutch
If the drill bit becomes jammed or caught, the drive to the drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the forces that
occur as result, always hold the machine securely with both hands and take a firm stance.
