When there is danger of falling down, secure
the machine using the provided safety strap;
especially when working aloft, on vertical
building elements or overhead. In case of a
power failure or when the mains plug is
pulled, the magnetic holding power is not
maintained.
When working overhead or on vertical sur-
faces, the coolant container must not be
used. Use Slugger Cutting Paste instead. Liq-
uids penetrating your electric power tool
maycause electric shock.
Avoid touching the drilled core that is auto-
matically ejected by the pilot pin when the
working procedure is finished. Contact with
the core when it is hot, or if it falls, can cause
personal injuries.
Operate the power tool only from grounded
contact sockets that comply with the speci-
fications. Do not use any connection cables
that are damaged; use extension cables
with a grounded contact that are checked at
regular intervals. A ground conductor with-
out continuity can cause an electric shock.
To prevent injuries, always keep your hands,
clothing, etc. away from rotating swarf. The
swarf can cause injuries. Always use the
chipping protector.
Do not attempt to remove the cutting tool if
it still turns. This can lead to serious injuries.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Handling hazardous dusts.
When working with power
WARNING
tools, such as when grind-
ing, sanding, polishing, sawing or for other
work procedures where material is
removed, dusts develop that are both haz-
ardous to one's health and can spontane-
ously combust or be explosive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types
can trigger allergic reactions to the operator
or bystanders and/or lead to respiratory
infections, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Beware of any concealed electric cables,
gas or water conduits. Check the working
area before commencing work, e. g. with a
metal detector.
Do not work materials containing magne-
sium. Danger of fire.
Do not work CFP (carbon-fiber-reinforced
polymer) and materials containing asbestos.
These materials are considered carcinogenic.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the power tool. If the insulation is
damaged, protection against an electric
shock will be ineffective.
Do not use accessories which are not specif-
ically designed and recommended by the
power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is
not ensured merely because an accessory
fits your power tool.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power
tool at regular intervals using non-metal
tools. The blower of the motor draws dust
into the housing. An excessive accumulation
of metallic dust can cause an electrical haz-
ard.
Before putting into operation, check the
power connection and the power plug for
damage.
Recommendation: The tool should always be
supplied with power via a ground fault cir-
cuit interrupter (GFCI) with a rated current
of 30 mA or less.
Examples of such materials which contain
chemicals that can produce hazardous dusts,
are:
– Asbestos and materials containing asbes-
tos;
– Lead-containing coatings, some wood
types such as beech and oak;
– Minerals and metal;
– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete
and other materials containing stone;
– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/
varnish;
