Using the Drilling Unit
In order to operate safely, please observe the following instructions:
Safety at work
Make sure that your work place is free of anything that might disturb
your work.
Pay attention that your work-place is well-lit.
Make sure that you observe the conditions for the connection with
the power supply.
When laying the cables, make sure that it cannot be damaged by
the tool.
Make sure that you always can overlook the work place in a
sufficient way and that you always can reach all necessary control
elements and safety devices.
In order to avoid accidents, keep other persons away from your
work place.
Required space for operation and maintenance
If possible, make sure that you have enough free space for operation and
maintenance around the machine (about 2 metres). This way, you can
work safely and in case of operating trouble you can intervene
immediately.
When you drill into blocs, make sure that the blocs are well anchored
and fixed.
Seek advice from the responsible structural engineer, architect or
construction supervisor regarding planned drill holes before starting
work. Do not penetrate any reinforcements unless you have authorisa
tion from a structural engineer.
Make sure that you do not damage any gas mains, water mains or
electric cables while drilling.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Pay attention that the drilling core does not hurt anybody or damaging
anything when it drops out.
When drilling holes that penetrate walls or ceilings, always check the
area concerned for obstacles. Close off the work site and prevent the
drill core from falling by means of formwork.
Make sure that the drill bit is well fixed.
Only use tools which are suitable for the particular material.
