5. Safety instructions

WARNING - Read all safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data for this electric tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a mains cable).

  1. Work area safety

a. Keep your work area clean and well-lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the power tool or pulling the plug out of the socket.

Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

e. If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Only use approved and appropriately identified extension cables for use outdoors. Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit breaker with a trigger current of 30mA or less to protect the power supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.

b. Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles.

Protective equipment such as a dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying electric tools with your finger on the switch or connecting power tools to the power supply when they are already switched on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys before turning the power tool on.

A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating device part may result in injuries.

e. Avoid abnormal postures.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Tie long hair back in a hair net.

g. If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connected and used properly. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related hazards.

h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.

A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

  1. Power tool use and care

a. Do not overload the device.

Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, elevated or closed location out of the reach of children.

e. Maintain power tools and attachments.

Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, tool attachments and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions.

Take 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.

h. 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.

  1. Service

a. Only have your power tool repaired by qualified specialists and only with original spare parts.

This ensures that safety of the electric tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for bench drills

  • Never make warning signs on the electric tool illegible.

  • Secure the electric tool to a solid, level and horizontal surface. If the electric tool can slip or wobble, the tool attachment cannot be guided evenly and safely.

  • Keep the work surface clean, except for the workpiece to be processed. Sharp-edged drilling debris and object can cause injuries. Material mixtures are particularly dangerous. Light metal dust can burn or explode.

  • Set the correct speed prior to starting work. The speed must be appropriate for the drilling diameter and the material to be drilled. If the speed is set incorrectly, the tool attachment may get stuck in the workpiece.

  • Only guide the tool attachment against the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise, there is a risk that the tool attachment will get stuck in the workpiece and take the workpiece with it. This can result in injuries.

  • Do not place your hands in the drilling area while the electric tool is running. There is a danger of injury if you come into contact with the tool attachment.

  • Never remove drilling debris from the drilling area whilst the electrical tool is running. Always move the drive unit into the resting position and switch the electric tool off.

  • Do not remove any drilling debris with bare hands. There is a particular danger of injury due to hot and sharp-edged metal debris.

  • Break long pieces of drilling debris by interrupting the drilling process by turning the wheel backwards. Long pieces of drilling debris pose a danger of injury.

  • Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and result in a loss of control.

  • Use the clamping devices to clamp the workpiece in place. Do not work with workpieces that are to small to be clamped in place. If you hold the workpiece in your hand, you cannot stop it turning and therefore prevent yourself getting injured.

  • Do not attempt to drill a workpiece that does not have a flat surface unless you are using a suitable support.

  • Never start the drill with the bit pressed against the workpiece.

  • Switch the electric tool off immediately if the tool attachment blocks. The tool attachment blocks if: - the electric tool is overloaded or - it gets stuck in the workpiece to be processed.

  • Do not touch the tool attachment after working until it has cooled down. The tool attachment becomes very hot when working.

  • Inspect the cable on a regular basis and only have damaged cables repaired by an authorised customer service centre. Replace damaged extension cables. This ensures that safety of the electric tool is maintained.

  • Store the unused electric tool safely. The storage location must be dry and lockable. This prevents the electric tool getting damaged by storage or being operated by inexperienced people.

  • Never leave the electric tool until it has come to a complete standstill. Tool attachments that are still moving can cause injuries.
  • Do not use the electric tool with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug out if the cable gets damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
  • Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool replacement.

  • Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised representative.

WARNING! This power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain circumstances. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.

Residual risks

The machine has been built according to the state-of-the-art and the recognised technical safety requirements. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation.

  • Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.
  • Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
  • Residual risks can be minimised if the "safety instructions" and the "Proper use" are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.
  • Do not load the machine unnecessarily: too much pressure when drilling quickly damages the drill. This results in reduced output of the machine in the processing and in cut precision.
  • Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet.
  • Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. This is how to ensure that your drill provides optimum performance.
  • Keep your hands away from the working area when the machine is in operation.

Before performing setting or maintenance work, switch the device off and unplug the mains plug.

Maintenance

Setting the laser, Fig. 23+27

Clamp a drill bit in the chuck (12). The laser forms a crosshair in the centre of the drill. If the laser line does not meet in the centre of the drill, the laser must be adjusted.

Position the drilling table (4) as close as possible to the drill. Loosen the locknuts (G). The laser lines can be adjusted by turning the adjustment screws (H) on both sides.

Set the laser lines such that they cross in the middle of the drill tip.

Setting the spindle return spring, Fig. 25

The spindle return spring may have to be set, as it's tension has changed and therefore, the spindle moves back too quickly or too slowly.

  1. Lower the table for more space to work.
  2. Work on the left of the drill.
  3. Insert a screwdriver into the front groove (L) and keep this in position.
  4. Use an open-ended spanner (AF19) to remove the outer nut (O).
  5. With the screwdriver still in the groove, loosen the inner nut (N) until the notch (K) releases from the hub (P). ATTENTION! Springs are tensioned!
  6. Turn the spring cap (M) carefully in an anti-clockwise direction using the screwdriver until you can press the groove into the hub (P).
  7. Lower the spindle into the lowest position and keep the spring cap (M) in position. Once the spindle moves up and down as you require, re-tighten the inner nut (N).

  8. If it is too loose, repeat steps 3-5. If it is too tight, in reverse order.

  9. Use an open-ended spanner to secure the outer nut (O) against the inner nut (N). NOTE: Do not over-turn and do not limit the range of movement of the spindle!
