General safety precautions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
!
all instructions. Neglecting to follow the
warnings and instructions can lead to
serious injury or death for the operator
or others.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to
lose control of the machine. For this reason, always
remain concentrated and focused on the task.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to
dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
Look out for any obstacles with unexpected
movement. Ensure that no material can become loose
and fall, causing injury when operating the machine.
• Always check the rear side of the surface where the
drill bit will emerge when drilling right through. Secure
and cordon off the area and make sure that no one
can be injured or material damaged.
Personal safety
WARNING! There is always a risk of
!
crush injuries when working with
products containing moving parts.
Always wear protective gloves.
• Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the "Personal protective equipment" heading.
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have
drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that
could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-
ordination.
• Never allow anyone else to use the machine without
first ensuring that they have read and understood the
contents of the operator's manual.
• Be careful as clothing, long hair, and jewellery can get
caught in moving parts.
• Never work alone, always ensure there is another
person close at hand. Apart from being able to receive
help to assemble the machine, you can also get help
if an accident should occur.
