General working instructions

WARNING! This section takes up the basic
!
safety precautions for working with the
drilling machine. This information is never a
substitute for professional skills and
experience. If you encounter a situation
where you are uncertain how to proceed you
should ask an expert. Contact your dealer,
service agent or an experienced drilling
machine user. Do not attempt any task that
you feel unsure of!
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
!
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or condition.
These symptoms normally appear in the
fingers, hands or wrists. These symptoms
may be increased in cold temperatures.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, 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.
• Remain at a distance from the drill bit when the motor is
running.
• Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in
the area to be drilled.
• Ensure the cord is behind you when you start to use the
machine so that the cord will not be damaged.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running. A rotating drill bit can entail a risk of serious injury.
• Always unplug the machine during longer work breaks.
• Do not overload the machine. Overloading can damage
the machine.
• Keep tools sharp and clean in order to enable safer work.
• 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.
• Always switch off the machine before you move it.
• 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.
• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all
fixtures are properly tightened.
