6 Original user manual
g. If dust extractors and collectors can be attached, ensure these are connected and used properly. Using
a dust extractor can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of the power tool allow you to become careless and
ignore tool safety principles. Within a fraction of a second, careless behaviour can lead to serious injuries.
Never work without the drill chuck guard set correctly. Only remove chips and workpiece parts when the
machine is at a standstill.
Use and care of the power tool
a. Do not overload the power tool. Use the appropriate power tool for your work. Using the right power tool
will enable you to work better and safer within the indicated power range.
b. Do not use a power tool if its switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be turned on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery pack before making any adjustments to
the device, changing inserts or putting the power tool away. This precaution prevents the unintentional
start of the power tool.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or its instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous when used by inexperienced
people.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories with care. Check whether moving parts are working properly and
are not jammed, and whether parts are broken or damaged to the extent that the function of the power
tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. 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 jam and easier to guide.
g. Check the workpieces for foreign objects (nails, screws) that could influence processing.
h. Adjustments to or equipping of the machine may only be done once the machine is at a standstill.
i. Only carry out maintenance and repair work when the machine is switched off and secured against
being switched on again. Disconnect the mains plug before starting work.
j. Use the power tool, accessories, etc., in accordance with this user manual. Take into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. The use of power tools for other than their intended
applications could lead to dangerous situations.
k. Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
l. Only connect the type F plug of the machine to an earthed socket. Do not turn on the machine if it is not
earthed.
Service
a. Only have your power tool repaired by qualified personnel and only with original spare parts. This
ensures that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
8 | Health and safety instructions for pillar drills
a. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
Ear protection: Wear ear protection when working for a longer period of time. Certain materials can produce
an increased noise level during drilling.
Safety glasses / face shield: Always wear at least safety glasses when working on the machine. If necessary,
use a full eye protection or face shield, since normal eyeglasses are usually only shock-resistant and safety
glasses only protect the eyes. A face shield protects the eyes and face.
Breathing mask: When processing different types of wood, exotic wood-based and other materials,
and when performing certain tasks like sanding, sawing or drilling, dusts are produced that are
harmful to health. Therefore, only operate the machines in well-ventilated areas and wear a
breathing mask. Also use a suitable dust extractor and/or filtering system of the circulating air.
