Special safety notes for rotary hammer drills and power screwdrivers
a) Wear ear protection! Noise may cause hearing loss.
b) Use the extra grip shipped with the rotary hammer drill. Loss of control
over the rotary hammer drill may cause injury.
c) Hold the rotary hammer drill by the insulated handles when perform-
ing work where there is a risk of the tool being used or the screw com-
ing into contact with hidden power lines or its own mains cord. Contact
with a live line could also energise metallic parts of the device and inflict an
electric shock.
d) Wear a dust mask when performing work that produces dust. Inhaling
dust could damage your health.
e) Use suitable detectors to locate concealed supply lines or consult the
local utility company. Contact with voltage-carrying lines can cause fire and
electrical shock. Damage to a gas line may cause an explosion. Damage to a
water line will result in damage to property.
f) Immediately switch the rotary hammer drill off if the tool being used jams.
The high reaction torques could trigger kickback and result in serious injury.
The tool being used jams when:
• the rotary hammer drill is overloaded or
• the tool being used cants in the work piece.
g) Secure the work piece. A work piece held in place with clamping fixtures or
in a vice is more secure than if held by your hand.
h) Keep your workplace clean. Mixtures of materials are particularly
dangerous. Light metal dust or chips could catch fire for example.
i) Wait until the rotary hammer drill has come to a full stop before putting
it down. Otherwise the tool being used could catch and cause you to lose
control of the rotary hammer drill.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation or excessive mains voltage may result
in an electric shock.
− Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency corre-
spond to the voltage stated on the product rating label and
that the socket is properly earthed.
− Only connect the rotary hammer drill to an easily accessible
socket so that you can quickly disconnect it from the mains in
the event of a fault.
