measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
IV - Impact drill safety
warnings
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▪ Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the
machine. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
During operation provide eye protec-
tion to prevent eyes from exposure to fly-
ing particles. Wear goggles.
Take protective measures against inha-
lation of dust. Some materials can contain
toxic ingredients. Wear a dust mask and
work with dust/chip extraction when connect-
able.
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting accessory may
Original instructions
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
▪ Do not process materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool
to a power source be sure that the voltage
supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool.
▪ A power source with a voltage greater than
that specified for the tool can result in serious
injury to the user, as well as damage to the
tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪ Using a power source with a voltage less than
the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you
must ensure that it has the right ampere rating
for your power tool and it is in safe electrical
condition.
WARNING: Always switch off and
unplug the power tool prior to any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
▪ While operating the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a se-
cure stance. The power tool is guided more
securely with both hands.
▪ Prior to operation use suitable detectors to
determine if utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line
can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause
electric shock.
▪ Always keep the cord away from the working
area of the power tool.
▪ Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull
the mains plug when the cable is damaged
while operating. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
▪ Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
