- Follow the instructions for lubrication and
changing tools.
- Regularly check the connection cable of the
power tool and, if it is damaged, have it replaced
by a qualified specialist.
- Check extension cords periodically and replace
them if they are damaged.
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
15. Remove the plug from the mains socket
- When the power tool is not in use, before main-
tenance and when changing tools such as saw
blades, drill bits, cutters.
16. Do not allow any tool keys to remain inserted.
- Check, before switching on, that keys and ad-
justing tools have been removed.
17. Avoid unintentional starting
- Make sure that the switch is off when inserting
the plug into the socket.
18. Use extension cables outdoors

common sense. Do not use the power tool if you
cannot concentrate.
20. Check the power tool for possible damage
- Before further use of the power tool, safety de-
vices or slightly damaged parts must be care-
fully examined in respect of their proper and
intended function.
- Check that the moving parts are working prop-
erly and are not jammed or whether parts are
damaged. All parts must be correctly fitted and
satisfy all conditions to ensure the proper oper-
ation of the power tool.
- Damaged safety equipment and parts must be
repaired properly or replaced by an authorised
specialist workshop unless otherwise indicated
in the instructions.
- Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-
tomer service workshop.
- Do not use power tools if the switch cannot be
turned on and off.
21. CAUTION!
- The use of other bits and other accessories can
result in a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your power tool be repaired by a quali-
fied electrician

Warning!
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or pas-
sive medical implants under certain conditions. In or-
der to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.
Safety Instructions for Box Column Drills
• Never make the warning labels on the power
tool illegible.
• Attach the power tool to a solid, flat and hori-
zontal surface. If the power tool can slip or wob-
ble, the bit may not be guided smoothly and safely.
• Keep the work area clean except for the work-
piece to be machined. Sharp-edged drilling chips
and objects can cause injury. Material mixtures are
particularly dangerous. Light metal dust can burn
or explode.
• Set the correct speed before starting work. The
speed must be appropriate for the drill diame-
ter and the material to be drilled. At an incorrectly
set speed the bit may get jammed in the workpiece.
• Only when the device is turned on should the
bit be moved against the workpiece. Otherwise
there is a danger that the bit will get jammed in the
workpiece and the workpiece will rotate with the bit.
This can lead to injuries.
• Do not put your hands in the area of the drill
while the power tool is running. Upon contact
with the bit is a risk of injury.
• Never remove drilling chips from the drilling
area while the power tool is running. Always put
the drive mechanism in the standby position first
and then turn on the power tool.
• Do not remove accumulated drill chips with
your bare hands. There is a risk of injury due to
hot and sharp metal shavings in particular.
• Break up long drilling chips by interrupting the
drilling operation with a short backward rota-
tion of the rotary wheel. Long drilling chips may
cause injury.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and lead
to loss of control.
• Use clamps to hold the workpiece in place. Do
not work on any workpieces that are too small
for clamping. If you hold the workpiece by hand,
you cannot hold it sufficiently tightly against rota-
tion and may hurt yourself.
• Switch the power tool off immediately if the bit
jams. The bit jams when:
- the power tool is overloaded or
- the workpiece to be machined is jammed.
• Do not touch the bit after working before it has
cooled down. The bit is very hot during use.
