Residual risks

Residual risks may also arise owing
to the design of the machine relat-

the machine is used properly and in
compliance with all relevant safety
regulations; e.g.:
Touching the drill bit or the drill bit mounting

when drilling.
Breakage of the drill bit.

Touching live parts with the housing open and

the mains plug not removed.
Hearing can be impaired when working for long

periods without ear protectors.
Emission of wood dust: a health hazard when

working for long periods without dust extraction.
