General safety instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 Safety instructions for specific drills
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cut-
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
– Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
– Wear ear protection.Exposure to noise can re-
sult in loss of hearing.
– Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced during
your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain
types of wood and metal). Inhaling or coming
into contact with this dust may represent a haz-
ard for operating personnel or persons in the vi-
cinity. Comply with the safety regulations that
apply in your country.
Wear a P2 dust mask to protect your
health.
– Wear suitable protection: such as ear protection,
safety goggles, a dust mask for work which gener-
ates dust, and protective gloves when working with
raw materials and when changing tools.
CAUTION! Power tool can block and cause
sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!
– If a tool becomes stuck in the material, it can be
removed simply by reversing the rotational direc-
tion of the machine.
– Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp
surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may
cause a short circuit and burning.
