Careful handling and use
of electrical power tools
a)
Do not overload the device. Always 
use an electrical power tool that is 
intended for the task you are under-
taking. By using the right electrical power 
tool for the job you will work more safely and 
achieve a better result. 
b)
Do not use an electrical power tool if 
its switch is defective. An electrical power 
tool that can no longer be switched on and off 
is dangerous and must be repaired. 
c)
 Pull the mains plug from the socket 
before you make any adjustments to 
the device, change accessories or when 
the device is put away. This precaution is 
intended to prevent you from unintentionally 
starting the device. 
d)
When not in use always ensure that 
electrical power tools are kept out of 
reach of children. Do not let anyone use 
the device if he or she is not familiar 
with it or has not read the instructions 
and advice. Electrical power tools are dan-
gerous when they are used by inexperienced 
people. 
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check 
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any 
parts that are broken or damaged 
enough to detrimentally affect the 
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use 
the device. Many accidents have their origins 
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. 
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are 
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance 
with these instructions and advice, and 
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take 
into account the working conditions 
and the task in hand. The use of electrical 
 
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a)
Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist 
personnel using original manufacturer 
parts only. This will ensure that your device 
remains safe to use.
Safety advice for
hammer-action drills
Use the auxiliary handle supplied 
with the device. Loss of control of the tool 
can lead to injury.
 Always wear ear protection 
when using percussion drills. 
Exposure to noise can cause hearing 
loss.
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a 
vice to grip the workpiece firmly. 
If a dangerous situation arises, pull 
the mains plug immediately out of the 
mains socket.
Always work with the mains lead 
leading away from the rear of the 
device. 
Do not allow the ventilation slots to 
become covered while the device is 
operating. Do not insert any objects into the 
ventilation slots.
DANGER OF FIRE FROM FLY-
ING SPARKS! Drilling or abrading 
metal creates flying sparks.
 Always make sure that nobody is placed in 
any danger and that there are no inflammable 
materials near the working area.
HAZARDOUS DUSTS!
Working with harmful / poisonous dusts presents 
a danger to health for the tool operator and 
any persons in the vicinity.
Wear safety glasses and a 
dust protection mask!
