Using and handling the power
tool
a) Do not overload the tool. Use the intended
power tool for your work.
You work better and safer within the given power
range if you use the suitable power tool.
b) Do not use a power tool whose switch is de-
fective.
A power tool which can no longer be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the plug socket and/or
remove the battery before carrying out tool
adjustments, changing accessories or plac-
ing the tool aside.
This precautionary measure prevents uninten-
tional starting of the power tool.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren when not in use. Do not allow people
to use the tool unless they are familiar with
it, or if they have not read this instruction
manual.
Power tools are dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Maintain power tools with care. Check
whether moving parts are in proper work-
ing order and do not jam, whether parts are
broken or damaged in such a way that they
impair the function of the power tool. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the
tool.
Many accidents are caused by poorly serviced
and maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean at all
times.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges jam less easily and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, insert
tools, etc. in accordance with this instruc-
tion manual. Take into consideration the
working conditions and the work to be car-
ried out.
Use of power tools for other than the intended
applications can lead to dangerous situations.
h) Keep the handles and gripping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent
safe operation and control of the power tool in
unforeseen situations.

Machine-Specific Safety Instruc-
tions
2.6.1 Operating personnel require-
ments
•
People below the age of 18 may not use the
machine.
•
The operating personnel must be familiar
with the content of this instruction manual.
2.6.2 Workplace safety
•
Secure the work area also behind openings
and cutouts.
Unsecured work areas can endanger you and
other people.
•
Watch out for open and concealed electrici-
ty cables, and water and gas pipes. Use suit-
able detectors to find concealed utility pipes
and cables, or contact the local utility com-
pany for advice.
Contact with electricity cables can cause fires
and an electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe
can cause an explosion. Penetrating a water
pipe causes damage to property or could cause
an electric shock.
•
Do not use the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
•
Avoid causing situations where other people
can stumble or trip.
Tripping over cables can cause serious injuries.
•
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece securely held in clamping devices
or a vice is more safely held than in the hand.
•
Avoid dust accumulation in the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
•
Ensure adequate ventilation in closed
rooms.
Risk due to dust and impaired vision.
•
When carrying out drilling work that requires
the use of water, route the water away from
the work area or use a liquid collection de-
vice.
Such precautions keep the work area dry and
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
•
Inform and consult the responsible structur-
al engineer, architect or the responsible site
engineer about planned drilling.
Cut through reinforcement only with the approv-
al of a structural engineer.
