2.8 Residual risks
Despite adhering to all safety requirements while operating this tool, there are
inherent risks of injury and damage that may still exist. There are potential risks
associated with tool's structure and design, including:
• Health effects from prolonged or inadequate use, maintenance and management,
such as posture-related issues.
• Injuries and tool damage due to malfunctioning or damaged components.
• Hazards from flying objects, leading to injury and property damage.
• Burns resulting from contact with hot surfaces.
• Inadequate access points or insufficient guarding mechanisms can increase the
risk of accidental contact with moving parts or hazardous areas.
• Inadequate anchoring or securing of the tool can result in poor stability, increasing
the risk of tipping over and causing injuries or property damage.
2.9 Emergency situation
• Maintain a high level of alertness and attention while operating the tool. Regularly
inspect the tool for any signs of malfunction or potential risks.
• In case of malfunctions, switch off and disconnect the tool from the power source.
Have the tool checked and repaired by a qualified professional before operating
it again.
• If a fire occurs and you are unable to disconnect the tool from the power source,
prioritise your safety and the safety of others. Do not attempt to fight the fire
unless you are trained and equipped to do so. Promptly alert the appropriate
authorities by calling your national emergency hotline.
• In the event of other emergency situations, such as entrapment, power failure,
mechanical failures, short circuits or injury to persons, follow the emergency
stop procedures outlined in the manual. Switch off and disconnect the tool from
the power source, seek immediate assistance and provide medical assistance as
required.
• Regularly train the operators to promote a safe working environment in various
emergency situations. Reinforce essential protocols, such as evacuation
procedures, fire-fighting techniques and safety measures. Stay proactive in
ensuring preparedness and protecting the well-being of all individuals involved.
2.10 Upright stability
• Make sure the tool is correctly assembled, including proper alignment and secure
fastening of components, to maintain stability during operation.
• Place the tool on a stable, level workbench that can support its weight. Make sure
the area is free from obstructions or unevenness that could compromise stability
and that the tool make good contact with the surface.
• Anchor the tool to the workbench by securely fastening it according to the
instructions provided in chapter 5. Anchoring and assembly. Alternatively, use
a permanent magnetic base (model H134113/H134114) (sold separately) to
securely attach the tool to a ferromagnetic workbench or surface.

2.14 Intended use
WARNING! Risk of injury!
» It is not allowed to use the tool for any purpose other than its intended use, as
described in this manual. Other use is considered unauthorised.
• The tool is specifically designed for creating threaded holes in metal materials,
including both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
• The tool has an automatic air blowing and lubricating system built-in to enhance
the tapping process. The compressed air blower clears away metal shavings and
debris, and the lubrication system applies lubrication oil directly to the tapping
area.
• The tool is intended to accommodate different tap sizes ranging from M3 to M16.
• The tool must be securely anchored to a workbench (model H134112) (sold
separately) or other stable surface using the provided bolts before use.
Alternatively, use a permanent magnetic base (model H134113/H134114)
(sold separately) that allows the tool to be securely attached to a ferromagnetic
workbench or surface.
• The tool is intended to be used in indoor environments and is suitable for
operation in dry locations.
