Bosch GBH 6-42 C Professional Notice Originale page 7

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hammer Safety Warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
u
ing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
u
of control can cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
u
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with rotary
hammers
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip
u
in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit
is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contact-
ing the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
u
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend, causing
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Additional safety information
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. 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 dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Do not touch any application tools or adjacent housing
u
components shortly after operation. These can become
very hot during operation and cause burns.
Bosch Power Tools
The application tool may jam during drilling. Make
u
sure you have a stable footing and hold the power tool
firmly with both hands. Otherwise you could lose con-
trol of the power tool.
Take care when carrying out demolition work using
u
the chisel. Falling fragments of the demolition material
could injure you or any bystanders.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
u
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
