using a metal detector).
Smaller workpieces must be secured in such a way
that they are not carried along with the screwdriver

with screw clamps).
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove
debris and similar material only when the machine
is at a standstill.
Wear ear protectors when working for long periods
of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of
time may affect your hearing.
Note that high counter-torques are possible during

steady stance and focus on your work.
Do not keep the ventilation slots closed.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
