Safety Instructions for Box Column Drills

•  Never make the warning labels on the power tool illegible.
• Attach the power tool to a solid, flat and horizontal surface. If the power tool can slip or wobble, the bit may not be guided smoothly and safely.
• Keep the work area clean except for the work-piece to be machined. Sharp-edged drilling chips and objects can cause injury. Material mixtures are particularly dangerous. Light metal dust can burn or explode.
• Set the correct speed before starting work. The speed must be appropriate for the drill diameter and the material to be drilled. At an incorrectly set speed the bit may get jammed in the workpiece.
• Only when the device is turned on should the bit be moved against the work piece. Otherwise there is a danger that the bit will get jammed in the work-piece and the workpiece will rotate with the bit. This can lead to injuries.
• Do not put your hands in the area of the drill while the power tool is running. Upon contact with the bit is a risk of injury.
• Never remove drilling chips from the drilling area while the power tool is running. Always put the drive mechanism in the standby position first and then turn on the power tool.
• Do not remove accumulated drill chips with your bare hands. There is a risk of injury due to hot and sharp metal shavings in particular.
• Break up long drilling chips by interrupting the drilling operation with a short backward rotation of the rotary wheel. Long drilling chips may cause injury.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and lead to loss of control.
• Use clamps to hold the workpiece in place. Do not work on any workpieces that are too small for clamping. If you hold the workpiece by hand, you cannot hold it sufficiently tightly against rotation and may hurt yourself.
• Switch the power tool off immediately if the bit jams. The bit jams when:
  • the power tool is overloaded or
  •  the workpiece to be machined is jammed.
•  Do not touch the bit after working before it has cooled down. The bit is very hot during use.
• Inspect the cable regularly and have a damaged cable repaired only by an authorized customer service center. Replace damaged extension cables. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe.
• Store unused power tools in a safe place. The storage place should be dry and lockable. This prevents the power tool from being damaged as a result of being stored or operated by inexperienced people.
• Never leave the tool before it has come to a complete standstill. After running bits can cause injury.
• Do not use the power tool with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug if the cable is damaged while wor-king. Damaged cables increase the risk of electric shock.

Attention: Laser radiation Do not stare into the beam Class 2 laser
Protect yourself and you environment from accidents using suitable precautionary measures!

• Do not look directly into the laser beam with unprotected eyes.
• Never look into the path of the beam.
• Never point the laser beam towards reflecting sur-faces and persons or animals. Even a laser beam with a low output can cause damage to the eyes.
•  Caution – methods other than those specified here can result in dangerous radiation exposure.
• Never open the laser module. Unexpected exposure to the beam can occur.
•  If the mitre saw is not used for an extended period of time, the batteries should be removed.
• The laser may not be replaced with a different type of laser.
• Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorized representative.

Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state of the art and the recognized 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 minimized if the „safety instructions“ and the „Proper use“ are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade, which results in reduced output of the machine in the processing and in cut precision.
• When cutting plastic material, please always use clamps: the parts which should be cut must always be fixed between the clamps.
• 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. In doing so, your saw provides optimal performance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when the machine is in operation. Release the handle button and switch off the machine prior to any operations.
