Safety and operating instructions EN LBB16 EP024-U
Mind your hands, hair, clothing and jewellery – always keep well away from
rotating parts and cutting edges.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Use clamp or vice to hold the workpiece during operation.
Predrill slightly larger than core diameter of final drill to increase rate of mate-
rial removal and to minimize reaction force when breaking through.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times – stand alert for unexpected tool
reaction or breakage of inserted tool.
Use a support handle to take up static reaction force and sudden reaction when
breaking through, particularly when drilling holes larger than 6.5 mm in metal.
For heavy screw feed drills support handle or reaction bar must always rest
against a fixed point. Spindle torque is high and may break an arm or leg when
drawn in or trapped.
When drilling in unknown areas and walls proceed with extreme care. Be alert
for hidden gas, water and electric lines.
If the energy supply is broken – immediately release throttle.
When not using the machine lay it aside in such a way that the risk of uninten-
tional start or other people getting injured by the inserted tool is minimised.
Long term risks when using the machine
To prevent gradual loss of hearing due to exposure to high noise levels –
wear ear protection if the tool itself or the process generates a high noise.
Vibration may be harmful to hands and arms – reduce total time of exposure
to vibration caused by improperly working drill bits or other inserted tools.
Avoid inhaling dust resulting from drilling operation.
The dust may be harmful to health.
Use a dust extraction system or an approved dust mask when necessary.
Maintenance
Good service life and safe function is offered if the instructions for lubrication,
maintenance and overhaul supplied with the machine are followed.
Use genuine Atlas Copco replacement kits and parts only.
