GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos- pheres, 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 oper- ating 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.8

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

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.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. 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.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety 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. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. 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, 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 opera- tions 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.EN

a) 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.

WARNINGS a) The drill must be secured. A drill that is not properly secured may move or tip over and may result in personal injury. b) The workpiece must be clamped or secured to the workpiece support. Do not drill pieces that are too small to be clamped securely. Holding the workpiece by hand during operation may result in personal injury. c) Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating parts or chips leading to perso- nal injury d) Keep your hands out of the drilling area while the tool is running. Contact with rotating parts or chips may result in personal injury. e) Make sure the accessory is rotating before feeding into the workpiece. Otherwise the ac- cessory may become jammed in the workpiece causing unexpected movement of the workpie- ce and personal injury. f) When the accessory is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and switch off the tool. Investigate and take corrective actions to elimi- nate the cause of the jam. Jamming can cause unexpected movement of the workpiece and personal injury. g) Avoid generating long chips by regularly inter- rupting downward pressure. Sharp metal chips may cause entanglement and personal injuries. h) Never remove chips from the drilling area while the tool is running. To remove chips, move the accessory away from the workpiece, switch off the tool and wait for the accessory to stop moving. Use tools such as a brush or hook to remove chips. Contact with rotating parts or chips may result in personal injury.

i) Accessories with speed ratings must be rated

at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart. j) Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognisable. k) Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the direct or reflected laser beam yourself. You could blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes. l) If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your eyes and immediately turn your head away from the beam. m) Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment. n) Do not let children use the power tool unsuper- vised. They could accidentally blind someone. o) If the text of the laser warning label is not in your national language, stick the provided warning label in your national language over it before operating for the first time. p) Secure the power tool on a stable, even and horizontal surface. If the power tool can slip or shake, the application tool cannot be operated evenly and safely. q) Never leave the tool unattended before it has come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause injuries. r) Do not touch the application tool after working before it has cooled. The application tool beco- mes very hot while working. s) Keep the work surface clean, including the workpiece. Sharp-edged drilling chips and other objects may cause injury. Material mixtu- res are particularly hazardous. Light metal dust may catch fire or explode. t) Select the correct rotational speed before starting work. The rotational speed must be appropriate for both the drilling diameter and the material you intend to drilled. If an incorrect rotational speed is selected, the application tool may become jammed in the workpiece. u) Do not use any drills which are damaged on the shank.

v) Check whether all the protective provisions are

in place and have been attached correctly. Do not remove any mechanical or electrical protec- tive provisions. w) Check whether the drill holder is tightened properly.

x) To remove drill chips only use hand brushes,

brushes, rubber wipers, chip hooks or similar aids. Do not carry out any cleaning or greasing work while the machine is in operation. y) Store the power tool safely when it is not in use. The storage location must be dry and10

lockable. This prevents the power tool from storage damage, and from being operated by untrained persons. Immediately switch off the machine when:

• Interruption in the mains plug, mains lead or mains lead damage.

• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation. Electrical safety When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. The machine is provided with a zero voltage switch. After the tension drops the machine will not start to run automatically for safety reasons. The machine must be switched on again. Replacing cables or plugs Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dange- rous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard. Using extension cables Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm

. When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

clockwise to move the machine head down.

4. The height adjustment cannot be moved any

further once the upper or lower dead centre is reached.EN

5. Tighten the clamping lever (36) at the back of

the machine head in clockwise direction.

6. After adjusting the height of the drive unit, the

position of the workpiece must be checked again using the laser cross. You may need to reposition the workpiece. Note: the machine will only be firm and free of play (movement) once the clamping lever (36) is tightened. Clamping the workpiece (Fig. A, B, M, N, O) Risk of injury! It is forbidden to hold workpieces by hand as this is dangerous. Always secure the workpiece in a machine vice or a similar clamping device. The workpiece being machined has to be securely clamped. Do not machine any workpieces that cannot be clamped, for example if they are too small. The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported. The pillar drill is provided with a quick-action clamp (9), parallel fence (16) and a machine vice (11) that all can be used to properly clamp a workpiece. Clamping a workpiece using the machine vice The machine vice can be used for diverse clamping applications, and is ideally suited for clamping small(er) workpieces.

6. After drilling, release the clamping lever (10) by

turning it anticlockwise. Turn the quick-action clamp (9) to the side and remove the workpiece. Clamping a workpiece using the quick-action clamp in conjunction with the parallel guide Risk of injury! It is forbidden to hold workpieces by hand as this is dangerous. The parallel fence can only be used in conjunction with the quick-action clamp or a similar clamping device. It is not allowed to use the fence and hold the workpiece by hand. The parallel fence (16) is used to prevent large workpieces from twisting. It can only be used in conjunction with the quick-action clamp, it is not possible to use it with the machine vice.

1. Mount the parallel fence (16) as explained in

chapter “Mounting the parallel guide”.

2. Use the quick-action clamp to secure the work-

piece. Refer to: “Clamping a workpiece using the quick-action clamp”. Adjusting the depth stop (fig. B) The depth stop can be adjusted, to limit the drilling depth.

2. Set the depth stop to the desired depth, using

the depth scale (32).

3. Clamp the workpiece in the vice (see chapter

“Clamping the workpiece”).

4. Adjust the height of the machine head (see

chapter “Height adjustment”).

5. Place the drill tip lightly on the workpiece and

define the zero point (see chapter “Defining the drill depth zero point”).

6. Carry out a test drilling.16

7. Once the desired depth is shown in the display

(30), tighten the knob (31) of the drilling depth stop firmly.

8. The depth stop is now locked at the desired

drilling depth. Drilling Risk of damage! Allow the pillar drill to cool down to room temperature after using it for 15 minutes before working further. The drill can become jammed in the workpiece when it is being removed from the workpiece, which may cause kickback. Therefore, make sure to slow down the feed motion towards the end of the drilling procedure. Always stand in front of the power tool. This will ensure you always have a good view of the drilling point. Keep hands and fingers away from the rotating application tool. Do not reach one arm across the other when in front of the drive unit.

1. Prepare the pillar drill and the workpiece as

described in the preceding chapters.

2. Make sure that the protective guard (7) is lowe-

red down. An example of a properly positioned guard is shown on figure A.

3. Align the workpiece and clamp it (see chapter

“Clamping the workpiece”).

4. Connect the pillar drill to the power supply.

5. Switch on the pillar drill (see chapter “Switching

6. For drilling, move the drill depth handle (4) with

uniform feed, until the desired drilling depth is reached. Note: when drilling metals, briefly interrupt the feed to break the chips.

7. After reaching the drilling depth, move the drill

depth handle (4) back to its initial position.

8. Switch the pillar drill off.

• The drill feed, movement of the drill bit, is done manually using the drill depth handle (4)

• The cutting rate is influenced by the drilling speed and the bit diameter.

• The service life of drill bits is largely determined by the feed speed and the spindle speed. As a general rule: Select a lower speed for large diameter drill bits.

• For metal workpieces, reduce the feed rate and cutting speed and cool the drill bit using drilling oil. Metal workpieces should be centre-punched before drilling into them.

• For larger holes in thin sheets, use a low feed rate and cutting pressure so that the drill bit does not get “stuck” and the bore is dimensio- nally accurate.

• Effective chip ejection is hindered and the drill bit becomes warmer when drilling deep holes (deeper than 2 times the drill bit diameter). Reduce the feed rate and drilling speed and re- tract the bit from the hole repeatedly to improve chip ejection.

• When drilling holes over 8 mm in diameter pre-drilling is advisable to prevent premature wear and stress on the drill tip. Transport When transporting the pillar drill tool, hold it with both hands on the baseplate (5) or with one hand on the main drill housing (1). Do not carry the power tool by the drill depth handle (4).

Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the machine and unplug the power cord. Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that the ventilation openings are free of dust and dirt. Re- move very persistent dirt using a soft cloth moiste- ned with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia, etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the synthetic components. ENVIRONMENT Faulty and/or discarded electrical or electronic apparatus have to be collected at the appropriate recycling locations. Only for EC countries Do not dispose of power tools into domestic waste. According to the European Guideline 2012/19/EU for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.DE
