c) Always work carefully, attentively and sensi­
bly when using this tool. Do not use the unit
if you are tired or are under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while using the tool can
result in serious injuries.
2.2

Workplace safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated.
Untidiness and unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
b) Watch out for open and concealed electric­
ity cables, and water and gas pipes. Use
suitable detectors to find concealed utility
pipes and cables, or contact the local utility
company for advice.
Contact with electricity cables can cause fires
and an electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe
can cause an explosion. Penetrating a water
pipe causes damage to property or could cause
an electric shock.
c) Inform and consult the responsible structur­
al engineer, architect or the responsible site
engineer about planned drilling.
Cut through reinforcement only with the approval
of a structural engineer.
2.3

Electrical safety

a) Before use, check all water­carrying parts
– including those of the accessories – for
perfect working order and leaks.
Leaking water increases the risk of an electric
shock.
2.4

Safety of people

a) Wear personal protective equipment and
always wear goggles.
The wearing of personal protective equipment,
such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes,
helmet or ear protectors, depending on the type
and application of the power tools, reduces the
risk of injuries.

b) Avoid abnormal postures when working.
Ensure you are standing firmly and maintain
your balance at all times.
This will enable you to control the tool better in
unexpected situations.
c) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth­
ing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
d) If dust extraction and collection devices can
be installed, ensure that these are connect­
ed and are used correctly.
Use of a dust/water extraction system can
reduce hazards caused by dust.
e) Don't be lulled into a false sense of safety
and do not break the safety rules for drill
stands even if, after much use, you are
familiar with the drill stand.
Careless action can cause severe injuries within
fractions of a second.
f) When carrying out drilling work that requires
the use of water, route the water away from
the work area or use a liquid collection
device.
Such precautions keep the work area dry and
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
2.5 Using and handling the drill
stand
a) Before mounting the drill or drive unit, set
up the drill stand correctly in accordance
with these instructions.
Correct assembly is important to ensure proper,
faultless functioning of the stand.
b) Fasten the drill stand securely on a firm, flat
surface using the specified and undamaged
installation materials.
If the drill stand can slip or wobble, the drill or
drive unit cannot be guided uniformly and safely.
