the drill, the drill twisting inside the material being
worked on, or the drill penetrating the material being
worked on.
• If tools are required to absorb the reaction torque,
use a suspension attachment whenever possible. If
this is not possible, we recommend side handles for
machines with straight handle and pistol grip. At any
rate we recommend using tools to absorb if it is gre-
ater than 4 Nm for machines with straight handles,
greater than 10 Nm for machines with pistol grip.
• Keep hands away from the rotating chuck and the
rotating drill.
• In the event of power failure release the startor stop
control.
• Only use the lubricants recommended by the manu-
facturer.
• Always wear protective goggles. Wearing protective
gloves and protective clothing is recommended.
Hazards due to repetitive motions
• When using a drill the operator may experience dis-
comfort in hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other bo-
dy parts whilst performing work-related tasks.
• Maintain a comfortable position whilst using this
tool, be mindful of a secure grip and avoid awkward
positions or positions making it difficult to maintain
your balance. The operator should change his pos-
ture during extended periods of use, which may help
to prevent discomfort and fatigue.
• If the operator experiences symptoms such as per-
sistent malaise, discomfort, palpitations, pain, ting-
ling, numbness, a burning sensation or stiffness,
these warning signs should not be ignored. The user
should consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Risks associated with accessories
• Disconnect machine from the power supply before
changing a tool or accessory.
• Only use accessories and materials sizes and types
recommended by the manufacturer; do not use other
accessory and material types and sizes.
• Avoid direct contact with the machine tool during
and after use, as it may become very hot or sharp-
edged.
Hazards in the work environment
• Slipping, tripping and falls are main causes of inju-
ries at the workplace. Be mindful of surfaces which
may have become slippery during machine use, and
of tripping hazards caused by the air- or hydraulic
hose.
• Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surroundings.
These may hold hidden dangers due to electrical
cables or supply lines.
• The drill is not suitable for use in explosive environ-
ments and is not insulated against contact with elec-
trical power sources.
• Verify there are no electrical lines, gas lines, etc.
which may result in a hazard in the event they are
damaged during machine use.
Hazards due to dust and vapours
• Dusts and vapours generated by use of drill con-
nections may result in damage to the health (e.g.
cancer, birth defects, asthma and / or dermatitis); it
is imperative to perform a risk assessment for these
hazards and implement the respective regulatory
mechanisms.
• The risk assessment should include dust genera-
ted from machine use and dust in the area possibly
being blown around.
• Use and maintain the drill or thread cutter as recom-
mended in these instructions to minimise the release

of dust and vapours.
• Exhaust air must be discharged so the amount of
dust being blown about in a dusty environment is
minimised.
• If dust or vapours are generated the principal task
must be to monitor them in the area where they are
released.
• All machine mounting parts or accessories intended
to collect, extract or eliminate airborne dust or va-
pours should be used and maintained according to
manufacturer instructions.
• Select, maintain and replace consumables and ma-
chine tools as recommended in these instructions to
prevent an unnecessary increase in the production
of dust or vapours.
• Use respiratory dust equipment as required by la-
bour- and health regulations.
Noise hazards
• With inadequate ear protectors the impact of high
noise levels may result in permanent hearing dama-
ge, hearing loss and other problems, e.g. tinnitus
(ringing, whistling or buzzing in the ear).
• It's imperative to perform a risk assessment for the-
se hazards and implement the suitable regulatory
mechanisms.
• Suitable regulatory mechanisms to minimise the risk
include measures such as using insulation to pre-
vent pinging sounds on work pieces.
• Use heating protection as required by labourand
health regulations.
• The drill must be operated and maintained as re-
commended in these instructions to prevent an un-
necessary increase in the noise level.
• If the drill features a silencer, always ensure it is
available when using the drill and in good working
order.
• Select, maintain and replace consumables and ma-
chine tools as recommended in these instructions to
prevent an unnecessary increase in the sound level.
Hazard due to vibration
• Exposure to vibration may cause damage to the ner-
ves and disturb blood circulation in hands and arms.
• Wear warm clothes when working in cold environ-
ments and keep hands warm and dry.
• If you notice your skin on fingers or hands becoming
numb, tingling, hurting or becoming white, stop wor-
king with the machine and consult a physician.
• Operate and maintain the drill as recommended in
this manual to prevent an unnecessary increase in
vibration.
• Do not allow the drill to rattle on the material, as this
will most likely significantly increase vibration.
• Do not use work or poorly fitting sockets or extensi-
ons, as these are very likely to significantly increase
vibration.
• Select, maintain and replace consumables and ma-
chine tools as recommended in these instructions to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration.
• Whenever possible, use a stand, clamp or an equali-
ser to support the weight of the machine.
• Do not grip the machine too tightly but firmly, main-
taining the necessary hand reaction forces, as the
vibration hazard typically increases when tightening
the grip.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic ma-
chinery
• Compressed air can result in serious injuries.
- Always close the air supply, release pressure from
the hose, and disconnect the machine from the com-
pressed air supply when the machine is not in use,
