TOOL SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Safety instructions for all operations
Wear ear protectors when impact
m
drilling. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of
m
control can cause personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated
m
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
2. Safety instructions when using long
drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than
m
the maximum speed rating of the
drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely
to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
Use a detector to locate lines in walls
m
with concealed electric, water or gas
lines. Avoid touching live components
or conductors. Inadvertant contact with
hidden items may cause serious injury or
damage to the tool.
Always start drilling at low speed
m
and with the bit tip in contact with
the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit
is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
21-18CD
Instruction & User Manual
Apply pressure only in direct line with
m
the bit and do not apply excessive
pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage
or loss of control, resulting in personal
injury.
3. Safety instructions when using
hammer mode
Keep exposure to vibrations as
m
short as possible. When carrying
