2.2 Drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
▶ Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
▶ Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of
the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
▶ Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with
the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed
to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
▶ Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply
excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control,
resulting in personal injury.
2.3 Additional safety precautions for screwdrivers
Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working
order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection and suitable respira-
tory protection while the product is in use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the
accessory tool can result in cuts and burns.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked
air vents!
