Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to lose control of the machine. For this reason, always remain concentrated and focused on the task.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine before the working area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look out for any obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure that no material can become loose and fall, causing injury when
operating the machine.
• Always check the rear side of the surface where the drill bit will emerge when drilling right through. Secure and cordon off the area and make sure that no one can be injured or material damaged.
Electrical safety
WARNING! There is always a risk of shocks from electrically powered machines. Avoid unfavorable weather conditions and body contact with lightning conductors and metal objects. Always follow the instructions in the Operator’s manual to avoid damage.
WARNING! Do not wash the machine with water, as water can enter the electrical
system or the engine and cause damage to the machine or short circuit.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet socket.
