ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
u
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
u
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired be-
fore use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
u
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
u
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
u
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
Service
English
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
u
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Drills
Safety instructions for all operations
Use auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can
u
cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
u
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory or fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an elec-
tric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than the max-
u
imum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to ro-
tate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with
u
the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if al-
12 | English
lowed to rotate freely without contacting the
workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
u
and do not apply excessive pressure.Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, res-
ulting in personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
Switch the power tool off immediately if the
u
application tool becomes blocked. Be pre-
pared for high torque reactions which cause
kickback. The application tool becomes
blocked when it becomes jammed in the work-
piece or when the power tool becomes over-
loaded.
Hold the power tool securely. When tightening
u
and loosening screws be prepared for tempor-
arily high torque reactions.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
u
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
u
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
Always wait until the power tool has come to
u
a complete stop before placing it down. The
application tool can jam and cause you to lose
control of the power tool.
