f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
GB
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety for Battery-Operated
Drills
WARNING: Important: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning installation,
operation and maintenance.
a) DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that operators are
qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions.
b) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger are protected
against moisture at all times.
c) When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield, ear defenders,
and protective clothing including safety gloves. Wear respiratory protection suitable for the work being
undertaken. A minimum rating of FFP2 is recommended. If operating the tool causes discomfort in any
way, stop immediately and review your method of use.
d) Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines. Avoid touching live
components or conductors.
e) Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
f) Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits can be ejected from the
machine causing a hazard.
g) Ensure that the drill bit is not in contact with the workpiece prior to starting up the tool.
h) Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under the workpiece.
i) DO NOT exert pressure on to the tool. To do so would shorten its service life.
j) Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to handling them.
k) NEVER use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the bit.
l) If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off before
looking up.
m) Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
n) Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts repaired by a
qualified service centre.
o) ALWAYS wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before putting it down.
p) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.
