Drill safety warnings
- The drill must be secured.A drill that is not properly secured may move or tip over and may result in personal injury.
- 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.
- Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating parts or chips leading to personal injury.
- Keep your hands out of the drilling area while the tool is running. Contact with rotating parts or chips may result in personal injury.
- Make sure the accessory is rotating before feeding into the workpiece. Otherwise the accessory may become jammed in the workpiece causing unexpected movement of the workpiece and personal injury.
- When the accessory is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and switch off the tool. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the jam. Jamming can cause unexpected movement of the workpiece and personal injury.
- Avoid generating long chips by regularly interrupting downward pressure. Sharp metal chips may cause entanglement and personal injuries.
- 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.
- 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.
- The power tool is delivered with a laser warning sign (see table: "Symbols and their meaning").
- Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognisable.
| 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. |
- If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your eyes and immediately turn your head away from the beam.
- Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment.
- Do not let children use the power tool unsupervised. They could unintentionally blind themselves or other persons
- 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.
- 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.
- Never leave the tool unattended before it has come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause injuries.
- Keep the work surface clean, including the workpiece. Sharp-edged drilling chips and other objects may cause injury. Material mixtures are particularly hazardous. Light metal dust may catch fire or explode.
- 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.
- Do not touch the application tool after working before it has cooled. The application tool becomes very hot while working.
- Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable repaired only by an authorised customer service agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged extension cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
- Store the power tool safely when it is not in use. The storage location must be dry and lockable. This prevents the power tool from storage damage, and from being operated by untrained persons.
- Never use the power tool if the cable is damaged. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull out the mains plug if the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
