5.3.4 Work area safety
a) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Ex-
posure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may
result in damage to the health.
b) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly
en
away and cause injury beyond immediate area of

operation.

c) If the work involves breaking right through, take
the appropriate safety measures at the opposite

outlet.
7 Operation
WARNING
The electric supply voltage must comply with the
information given on the type identification plate on
the power tool.
CAUTION
Check that the side handle is fitted correctly and
tightened securely.
CAUTION
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will
pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with
the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both
hands so that the resulting opposing force causes
the slip clutch to release in the event of the drill bit
sticking. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece
securely.
