3 Safety information

Danger

Electrical appliances may be dangerous if used incorrectly. Therefore, always observe the safety instructions summarised in this chapter and the safety regulations applicable in the respective country of use! Please also read the safety information in the enclosed folder 070500 “Safety instructions” (according to standard 62841-1).

3.1 Safety instructions for all types of work

• Wear ear protectors during the use of impact drill drivers (machines with the designation ASB). Exposure to noise can cause loss of hearing.
• Make use of the additional handle supplied with the appliance. Loss of control can lead to injuries.

- Always hold the appliance by the insulated gripping surfaces when carrying out work during which the bit may hit concealed power lines. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

3.2 Safety instructions for the use of long drill bits

• Always start drilling at low speed and with the drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
• On no account may you work at a speed that exceeds the maximum speed permitted for the drill bit. At higher speeds, the drill bit can easily bend if allowed to turn freely (without contact with the workpiece); this can lead to injuries.
• Do not apply excessive pressure and only apply pressure in the longitudinal direction to the drill bit. Drill bits can bend and thus break or lead to a loss of control and injuries.

3.3 Additional safety instructions

• Ensure that the machine is switched off when you push in the rechargeable battery.
• Remove the rechargeable batteries from the machine before carrying out any setting, retooling, maintenance or cleaning tasks.
• Dust originating from materials such as leaded paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to health. Touching or inhaling these dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory disorders in the user or persons staying in the vicinity.
• As far as possible, make use of a dust extraction system.
• Provide for good ventilation of the workplace.
• It is recommended to wear a respirator mask with filter class P2.
• Observe the regulations valid in your country for the materials to be machined.
• Secure the workpiece against shifting, e. g. by means of fastening devices.
• LED light (Fig. 1, 7): Do not directly look at the LED radiation with optical instruments.
