Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company 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 damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Firmly tighten the auxiliary handle, hold the
machine firmly with both hands while work-
ing and keep proper footing and balance at
all times. The machine is guided more secure
with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal,
ceramic and plastic as well as for screwdriv-
ing, tools without SDS-plus are used (e.g.,
drills with cylindrical shank). For these tools,
a keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are
required.
Replace a damaged dust protection cap im-
mediately. The dust protection cap largely
prevents the penetration of drilling dust into
the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust
protection cap is not damaged.

If the application tool should become
blocked, switch the machine off. Loosen
the application tool.
Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the application tool moves freely.
When switching on with a blocked drilling
tool, high torque reaction can occur.
Always wait until the machine has come to
