4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1 Safety instructions for all operations

a) When working with the power tool wear hearing protection. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use the additional handle. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Brace the power tool properly before use.
This power tool produces a high output torque. If the power tool is not braced properly during operation, loss of control may occur, resulting in personal injury.
d) Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping 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.
e) If the accessory jams, stop operating the feed and switch off the tool. Check the reason for jamming and eliminate the cause for jammed tool inserts.
f) If you want to start the drill with the accessory stuck in the workpiece, check that the accessory rotates freely before switching on. If the accessory jams, it may not rotate and this may overload the tool or cause the drill stand to detach from the workpiece.
g) When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure that people and the work area on the other side are protected. The accessory can go beyond the hole and endanger persons there.

4.2 Safety instructions when using long drill bits:

a) Never operate at higher speed than 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.
b) Always start drilling at low speed 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.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage and loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

4.3 Additional safety instructions

Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments or servicing are performed.

Take care to avoid gas, electricity, and water supplies!

Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the switch when the plug is removed from the mains socket or in case of a power cut.

Keep your hands away from the rotating tool!

Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill.

ENGLISHen

Caution must be exercised when driving screws into hard materials (driving screws with metric or imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may break or high reverse torques may build up.

High forces are released if the tool jams or catches. Always hold the machine firmly, adopt a steady stance and focus on your work.

Secure small workpieces, for example by clamping them in a vice.

Do not keep the ventilation slots closed.

When using the machine with material number 600323000 in the drill stand

627100000, all operating instructions of the drill stand must be observed!

Reducing dust exposure:

METABO B 323 - Reducing dust exposure: - 1

WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

  • Lead from lead-based paints,
  • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  • arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

This also applies to dust from other materials, such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.

Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal).

Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area.

Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner.

Use a suitable extraction unit.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:

  • do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits,
  • use an extraction unit and/or an air purifier,
  • ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
  • Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush protective gear.
