Husqvarna DM400 Operator's Manual page 9

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
• 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.
Diamond drill safety warnings
• When performing drilling that requires the use of
water, route the water away from the operator's work
area or use a liquid collection device. Such
precautionary measures keep the operator's work
area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
• Operate power tool by insulated grasping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear hearing protection when diamond drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward
pressure and turn off the tool. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit
jamming.
• When restarting a diamond drill in the workpiece,
check that the bit rotates freely before starting. If the
bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool,
or may cause the diamond drill to release from the
workpiece.
• When securing the drill stand with anchors and
fasteners to the workpiece, ensure that the
anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining
the machine during use. If the workpiece is weak or
porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill
stand to release from the workpiece.
• When securing the drill stand with a vacuum pad to
the workpiece, install the pad on a smooth, clean,
non-porous surface. Do not secure to laminated
surfaces such as tiles and composite coating. If the
workpiece is not smooth, flat or well affixed, the pad
may pull away from the workpiece.
• Ensure there is sufficient vacuum before and during
drilling. If the vacuum is insufficient, the pad may
release from the workpiece.
1188 - 008 - 14.09.2020
• Never perform drilling with the machine secured by
the vacuum pad only, except when drilling
downwards.If the vacuum is lost, the pad will release
from the workpiece.
• When the drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to
protect persons and the work area on the other side.
The bit may extend through the hole or the core may
fall out on the other side.
• When drilling overhead, always use the liquid
collection device specified in the instructions. Do not
allow water to flow into the tool. Water entering the
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
