Work area safety
•Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.

or fumes.
• 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
areais clear and youhaveafirmfoothold.Lookoutforany
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.
Electrical safety
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet
socket.
• Checkthatthe mains voltagecorrespondswith that stated
on the rating plate on the machine.
