3. General Safety Information

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating
instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Always include these documents when passing on
your power tool.

4. Special safety instructions

4.1

Safety instructions for all operations

a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use the side handle supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without properly
bracing the tool during operation, loss of control
may occur resulting in personal injury.
d) 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
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
4.2 Safety instructions when using long drill
bits
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage and loss of control,
resulting in personal injury.

Additional safety instructions

Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at a standstill.
Caution must be exercised when driving screws into
hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break or high reverse torques may build up.
High forces are released if the tool jams or catches.
Always hold the machine firmly, adopt a steady
stance
and focus on your work.
Secure small workpieces, for example by clamping
them in a vice.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
