Westfalia WBMH1050 Instruction Manual page 12

▪ Please notice: Only change the operating mode (drilling/impact drilling/chiselling) when
the machine is at a complete standstill.
▪ If the machine was dropped and becomes damaged, immediately switch off the machine
and do not use it further. Do not disassemble the machine and do not try to repair it
yourself. Contact our customer service.
▪ Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing operations where the
application tool or the screw could contact hidden wiring or its own power cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
▪ When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
▪ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
▪ Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
▪ Immediately switch the rotary hammer drill off if the tool being used jams. The high
reaction torques could trigger kickback and result in serious injury.
▪ The tool being used jams when:
- the rotary hammer drill is overloaded or
- the tool being used cants in the work piece.
Residual Risk
▪ Even if you use the rotary hammer drill properly and follow all safety notes, there are always
residual risks that remain. The following risks associated with the construction and design
of the rotary hammer drill may occur:
- Lung injury if a suitable dust mask is not worn.
- Hearing loss if suitable ear protection is not worn.
- Eye injury caused by flying materials or parts thereof if no suitable eye protection is worn.
- Injury to health attributed to hand-arm vibrations if the rotary hammer drill is used for a
prolonged period of time or if the rotary hammer drill is not guided and maintained
properly.
- Risk of injury if long hair, loose-fitting clothing or jewellery get caught by rotating device
parts.
- Reduce residual risks by using the rotary hammer drill with care and following all safety
notes as well as other instructions.
