Husqvarna DM230 Safety Instructions page 4

 Always switch off the machine before you move it.

also get help if an accident should occur.
 Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all fixtures are properly tightened.
WORKING TECHNIQUES cont.
Using the machine
 The machine has a very high torque. This demands good concentration during work, as serious personal injuries can occur if the drill bit suddenly
jams.
 Keep your hands at a safe distance from the drill spindle and drill bit when the machine is running.
 Keep an eye open for oil or water leakage. If water or oil trickles out from the leakage hole on the top of the pinion neck, the seals must be
replaced
Handheld drilling
 Always use a drill bit with a max. Diameter of 75 mm with handheld drilling. The larger the drill bit the greater the reaction if the drill jams.
 Always make sure you are standing firmly when carrying out handheld drilling.
Stand drilling
 Always use a drilling stand if drilling is to be performed from a ladder or scaffold.
 Handheld drilling in these situations is full of risks, as the risk of falling is very high if the drill bit jams.
 Make sure that the stand is secured correctly.
 Make sure that the drilling machine is secured correctly in the stand.
Drilling outdoors
 Always use extension cables that are approved for outdoor use.
 Drilling in ceilings and the like
 Use a water collector to avoid water penetrating into the machine. The machine must be covered with plastic or the like in order to prevent water
penetrating into the machine, but do not cover the air intakes and air outlets.
IMPORTANT! The air intake must not be covered.
