For your safety

WARNING!

Before using the power tool, please read and follow:

– These operating instructions,

• the "General safety instructions" on the handling of power tools in the enclosed booklet (leaflet-no.:315.915),
  – the currently valid site rules and the regulations for the prevention of accidents.

This power tool is state of the art and has been constructed in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations. Nevertheless, when in use, the power tool may be a danger tolife and limb of the user or a third party, or the power tool or other property may be damaged. The power tool may be operated only if it is

- a s i n t e n d e d ,

-in perfect working order.

Faults which impair safety must be repaired immediately.

Intended use

This drilling unit is designed

– for commercial use in industry and trade,
– for drilling through-holes and blind holes in natural stone, concrete and related materials using diamond drill bits and water,
– for free-hand drilling or for use with drill stands which are indicated in these instructions or recommended by the manufacturer,
– for use with tools and accessories which are indicated in this manual or recommended by the manufacturer.

The ermitted circumferential speed and the maximum diameter must not be exceeded.

Safety instructions for drilling unit

WARNING!

Read all safety instructions and other instructions. Failure to observe the safety instructions and other instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries. Keep all safety instructions and other instructions in a safe place for the future.

■ This electric power tool is to be used as a drilling unit with the designated tools and accessories.
Observe all safety information, instructions, diagrams and data which you receive with the power tool.
If you do not observe the following instructions, an electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries may occur. If the electric power tool is not used as intended, the user may be exposed to hazards and may be injured.

■ Never use accessories which the manufacturer did not intend or recommend especially for this electric power tool. Just because you can attach the accessory to your electric power tool does not guarantee safe use.

■ Wear ear protection.

The effect of noise may result in loss of hearing.

■ When working, hold the electric power tool firmly with both hands on the designated handles and ensure that you have a secure footing.

The electric power tool is controlled more securely if held with both hands.

■ Use suitable detectors to detect concealed power supply cables or consult your local supply company.

Contact with electric cables may result in a fire and/or electric shock.

A damaged gas pipe may cause an explosion. Drilling into a water pipe will cause damage to property or may cause an electric shock.

• Keep the power cord away from rotating insertion tools. If you lose control of the appliance, the power cord could be severed or become caught and your hand or arm may strike the rotating insertion tool.
  ■ Secure the workpiece.
  A workpiece is held more securely in a clamping device or vice than by hand.
  ■ Wait until the electric power tool has come to a standstill before putting it down.
  The insertion tool may jam and cause you to lose control of the electric power tool.
  ■ These machines may be operated with the supplied PRCD switch only. Before using the machine, always check the PRCD switch.
  ■ Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out the mains plug.
• Repairs to the electric power tool, such as replacement of the power cord, may be performed by the manufacturer's customer service only.

Noise and vibration

The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 60745.

The A evaluated noise level of the power tool is typically:

– Sound pressure level: 85.6 dB(A);
– Sound power level: 96.6 dB(A);
- Uncertainty:

Total vibration value

(when drilling in natural stone):

– Emissions value:

(solid drill bit ∅ 8 mm) a _h=3.2m^2s

(hollow drill bit ∅ 12 mm) a h = 4.8 m ^2 /s

Uncertainty: 2

CAUTION!

The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.

NOTE

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool.

However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ.

This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

For a precise estimation of the vibration load the times should also be considered during which the power tool is switched off or even running, but not actually in use. 1.5

This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

CAUTION!

Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).
