Safety Instructions For Drills - Scheppach Dp55 Original Bedienungsanleitung

d) Remove the setting tools or spanners before
switching on the electric tool.
A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating de-
vice part may result in injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that you
have secure footing and always maintain your
balance. This will allow you to better control the
electric tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewel-
lery and long hair can be caught by moving parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly. Using a dust extraction
unit can reduce hazards caused by dust.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false
sense of security and do not ignore the safe-
ty rules for electric tools, even when you have
used them many times and have become fa-
miliar with them. Careless actions can result in
serious injuries within a fraction of a second.
4. Using and handling the electric tool
a) Do not overload the device. Use the electric tool
intended for your work. The suitable electric tool
allows you to work better and more safely in the
indicated power range.
b) Do not use an electric tool whose switch is
defective. An electric tool that cannot be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket and/or take
out a removable battery before setting the
device, changing insertion tool parts or put-
ting the electric tool away. These precautionary
measures will prevent the electric tool from start-
ing unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of
children. Do not let people use the electric tool
who are not familiar with it or who have not read
these instructions. Electric tools are dangerous if
they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Maintain electric tools and tool attachments with
care. Check whether moving parts function properly
and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or
are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric
tool function. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the electric tool. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained electric tools.

f) Always keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges seize up less often and are eas-
ier to guide.
g) Use electric tools, accessories, insertion tool,
etc. according to these instructions. Take the
working conditions and the activity to be carried
out into consideration. Using electric tools for ap-
plications other than the intended uses can lead to
dangerous situations.
h) Keep the handles and gripping surfaces dry,
clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles
and gripping surfaces prevent safe operation and
control of the electrical tool in unforeseen situations.
5. Service
a) Only have your electric tool repaired by qual-
ified specialists and only with original spare
parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool
is maintained.

Safety instructions for drills

a) The drill must be secured. An incorrectly secured
drill can move or topple and this can result in injuries.
b) The workpiece must be clamped or fastened to
the workpiece support. Do not drill into work-
pieces that are too small to be securely clamped.
Holding the workpiece by hand can lead to injuries.
c) Do not wear gloves. Gloves can be caught by ro-
tating parts or drilling debris and thus cause injuries.
d) Keep your hands away from the drilling area
whilst the electrical tool is running. Contact with
rotating parts or drilling debris can cause injuries.
e) The drill must be turning before it makes con-
tact with the workpiece. Otherwise, the drill bit
can catch in the workpiece and this can result in
an unexpected movement of the workpiece and
cause injuries.
f) If the drill becomes jammed, stop pressing
downwards and switch the electrical tool off. In-
vestigate and rectify the cause of the jamming.
Jamming can result in an unexpected movement of
the workpiece and can result in serious injuries.
g) Avoid long pieces of drill swarf by interrupting
the downward pressure at regular intervals.
Sharp metal swarf can become tangled and lead
to injuries.
