OPERATING

Work safety

Work area safety
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
Look out for any obstacles with unexpected
movement. Ensure that no material can become loose
and fall, causing injury when operating the machine.
• Always check the rear side of the surface where the
drill bit will emerge when drilling right through. Secure
and cordon off the area and make sure that no one
can be injured or material damaged.
Electrical safety
!
• The machine should be connected to an earthed
outlet socket. Check that the mains voltage
corresponds with that stated on the rating plate on the
machine.
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and
in good condition. Never use the machine if any cable
or plug is damaged, but hand it in to an authorized
service workshop for repair.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord
while it is rolled up. The water system cools the drill bit
with clean water.
• Ensure the cord is behind you when you start to use
the machine so that the cord will not be damaged.
Personal safety
• Remain at a distance from the drill bit when the motor
is running. A rotating drill bit can entail a risk of serious
injury.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed
in the area to be drilled.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Always unplug the machine during longer work
breaks.
• Never work alone, always ensure there is another
person close at hand. Apart from being able to receive
help to assemble the machine, you can also get help
if an accident should occur.
WARNING! Do not pressure wash the
machine, as water can enter the
electrical system or the engine and
cause damage to the machine or short
circuit.
