Ensure that no dangers are created for other

Hazards caused by entanglement
■
Hazards caused by entanglement can result
in suffocation, scalping and/or cut wounds if
loose clothing, personal jewellery, necklaces,
hair or gloves are not kept away from the
machine and its accessories.
■
Gloves can get caught in the rotating drive,
which can lead to injuries or fractures of the
fingers.
■
Rubber or metal-reinforced gloves can become
entangled easily in rotating drive fittings and
extensions.
■
Never wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with
cut-off or worn-out glove fingers.
■
Never hold onto the drive, the fitting or the drive
extension.
■
Keep your hands away from the rotating drive.
■
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from the compressed air tool and moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. There is a risk of per-
sonal injury.
■
Always wear impact-resistant safety goggles
during operation, repair or maintenance work
and when replacing accessory parts on the drill
or thread cutter. The level of the required pro-
tection must be evaluated separately for each
individual task.
Hazards during operation
■
When using the machine, the operator's hands
may be exposed to risks such as crushing,
striking, cutting, abrasion and heat. Wear
suitable gloves to protect your hands.
■
Avoid contact with the rotating shaft and the
accessory tool to prevent cuts on your hands
and other body parts.
■
The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable of handling the size,
weight and power of the machine.

■
Hold the machine correctly: be ready to counter-
act any normal or sudden movements – keep
both hands ready.
■
Ensure that your body is balanced and that you
have stable footing.
■
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
■
High reaction torques can occur in the event
of a jam/blockage, which can be caused by
excessive loads working on the drill, jamming of
the drill in the work material being processed or
by the drill cutting through the material.
■
Prevent unintentional starting. If the air supply is
interrupted, switch off the compressed air tool
on the On/Off switch.
■
When aids are needed to absorb the reaction
torque, we recommend using a suspension unit
wherever possible. If this is not possible, side
handles for machines with a straight grip and
machines with pistol grip are recommended.
We recommend always using aids to absorb
the torque if it is higher than 4 Nm on machines
with straight grips, and higher than 10 Nm on
machines with a pistol grip, and higher than
60 Nm on offset screwdrivers.
■
Release the start/stop control in case of a
disruption to the electricity supply.
■
Use only the lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer.
■
Fingers might be crushed in nut wrenches with
an open pan head.
■
Keep your hands away from the rotating collet
chuck and the rotating drill.
■
Do not use the tool in confined spaces and en-
sure that your hands are not crushed between
the machine and the work piece, especially
when removing screws.
■
Safety goggles must be worn. The wearing of
protective gloves and safety clothing is recom-
mended.
