4 Power tool use and care
a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety 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
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
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 operations 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 identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

Additional safety rules for diamond drills
F
Always wear safety glasses
f
Always wear ear protection
d
Always wear a dust mask
Always wear safety shoes
Always wear safety gloves.
● Use the diamond drill under constant supervision.
● Make sure not to cut through electric mains,
gas or water pipes. Use detection systems prior
to drilling.
● Make sure the cutting accessory is fitted properly.
● Check all screws and tighten securely before
you use the machine.
● When drilling downward, make sure the core
can drop safely without injuring someone
standing beneath.
● Do not perform overhead (upward) drilling
without the use of suitable protection shielding
(water collecting device).
● Make sure to stand on a stable surface and
keep body balance at all times for better control
of reaction torque.
● Hold the assembly only at the feed handle and
other plastic surfaces when drilling. In case of
accidently cutting a mains lead, all metal parts
become "live" with danger of electric shock.
● Inspect the machine before every use. Do not
use the machine if there are any defectives on
the mains plug, power cord, on/off switch or any
part of the housing. Have the machine repaired
by an authorized repair agent.
● Do not use the machine in a damp or wet location.
● Switch off the machine immediately if there is
any leak of water.
● After interrupting the cut, do not switch on until
the core bit can rotate freely.
