Operating hazards
During use of the device the operator's hands
could be exposed to dangers, e.g. cuts, abra-
sions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect
hands.
The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable to manage the weight
and power of the machine.
Hold the machine correct: be prepared to coun-
teract typical or sudden movements – keep both
hands ready.
Be sure your body is well balanced and maintain
a solid stance.
High reaction torques may arise in the event of
a jam, which could be caused by excessive
loads on the drill, the drill twisting inside the
material being worked on, or the drill penetrat-
ing the material being worked on.
Safety information for air tools
If tools are required to absorb the reaction tor-
que, use a suspension attachment whenever
possible. If this is not possible, we recommend
side handles for machines with straight handle
and pistol grip. At any rate we recommend
using tools to absorb if it is greater than 4 Nm
for machines with straight handles, greater
than 10 Nm for machines with pistol grip.
Keep hands away from the rotating chuck and
the rotating drill.
In the event of power failure release the start-
or stop control.
Only use the lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer.
Always wear protective goggles. Wearing
protective gloves and protective clothing is
recommended.

this tool, be mindful of a secure grip and avoid
awkward positions or positions making it diffi-
cult to maintain your balance. The operator should
change his posture during extended periods of
use, which may help to prevent discomfort and
