Service
▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.2 Drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
▶ Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory or
fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
▶ Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds,
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
▶ Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
▶ Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend
causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Safety instructions for using mixing paddles or stirrers
▶ Switch the power tool on or off only when the mixing paddle is immersed in the material for mixing.
Failure to do so can cause a loss of control with resultant risk of injury.
2.3 Additional safety instructions for rotary hammer drill
Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Use auxiliary handles supplied with the product. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece in work that involves breaking
through. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶ Always hold the tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Hold the product by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the accessory tool
might come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live wire,
metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric shock.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection and suitable respiratory protection while the product
is in use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
