Safety Instructions

WARNING
Read all safety information and instructions
supplied with the drill stand and drill or drive units.
Failure to observe the safety instructions and
precautions can cause serious injuries.
You must always comply with the currently valid
version of the general accident prevention / health
& safety regulations.
Keep all safety instructions and precautions
for future reference.
2.1 Operating personnel
requirements
a) People below the age of 18 may not use the
unit.
b) Store drill stands out of the reach of children
when not in use. Do not allow people to use
the tool unless they are familiar with it, or if
they have not read this instruction manual.
Drill stands are dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
c) Always work carefully, attentively and
sensibly when using this tool. Do not use
the unit if you are tired or are under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while using the tool can
result in serious injuries.
2.2

Workplace safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated.
Untidiness and unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
b) Watch out for open and concealed electricity
cables, and water and gas pipes. Use
suitable detectors to find concealed utility
pipes and cables, or contact the local utility
company for advice.
Contact with electricity cables can cause fires
and an electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe
can cause an explosion. Penetrating a water
pipe causes damage to property or could cause
an electric shock.
c) Inform and consult the responsible
structural engineer, architect or the
responsible site engineer about planned
drilling.
Cut through reinforcement only with the approval
of a structural engineer.
2.3

Electrical safety

a) Before use, check all water-carrying parts
– including those of the accessories – for
perfect working order and leaks.
Leaking water increases the risk of an electric
shock.
2.4

Safety of people

a) Wear personal protective equipment and
always wear goggles.
The wearing of personal protective equipment,
such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes,
helmet or ear protectors, depending on the type
and application of the power tools, reduces the
risk of injuries.
b) Avoid abnormal postures when working.
Ensure you are standing firmly and maintain
your balance at all times.
This will enable you to control the tool better in
unexpected situations.
c) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
d) If dust extraction and collection devices
can be installed, ensure that these are
connected and are used correctly.
Use of a dust/water extraction system can
reduce hazards caused by dust.
e) Don't be lulled into a false sense of safety
and do not break the safety rules for drill
stands even if, after much use, you are
familiar with the drill stand.
Careless action can cause severe injuries within
fractions of a second.
f) When carrying out drilling work that requires
the use of water, route the water away from
the work area or use a liquid collection
device.
Such precautions keep the work area dry and
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
2.5 Using and handling the drill
stand
a) Before mounting the drill or drive unit, set
up the drill stand correctly in accordance
with these instructions.
Correct assembly is important to ensure proper,
faultless functioning of the stand.
