Impact drill safety warnings

▪ Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Ex-
posure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▪ Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the ma-
chine. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▪ During operation provide eye protection
to prevent eyes from exposure to flying
particles. Wear goggles.
Take protective measures against inhala-
▪
tion of dust. Some materials can contain
toxic ingredients. Wear a dust mask and
work with dust/chip extraction when connect-
able.
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, 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.
▪ Do not process materials containing asbestos. Asbes-
tos is considered carcinogenic.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a
power source be sure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
▪ A power source with a voltage greater than that speci-
fied for the tool can result in serious injury to the user,
as well as damage to the tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪ Using a power source with a voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you must en-
sure that it has the right ampere rating for your power
tool and it is in safe electrical condition.
WARNING: Always switch off and un-plug the
power tool prior to any adjustment, servicing or main-
tenance.
▪ While operating the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more securely with both hands.
▪ Prior to operation use suitable detectors to determine
if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with elec-
tric 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 electric
shock.

▪ Always keep the cord away from the working area of
the power tool.
▪ 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 operating. Dam-
aged cables increase the risk of electric shock.
▪ Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no
one is below when using the tool in high locations.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work whenever
possible.
▪ Watch out for the initial torque reaction of the machine
or upon jamming the drill bit. Switch the power tool
immediately upon jamming the drill bit. Watch out for
high reactive torque which may result in kick-back.
The drill bit will block if the power tool is overloaded or
if the bit jams into the material.
▪ Do not touch the drill bit or parts close to it during op-
eration and immediately after that; they may be ex-
tremely hot. You may get serious burns.
▪ Keep work area clean. Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
▪ Always switch the machine off prior to leaving it down.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual
will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
