Husqvarna DM 200 Operator's Manual page 8

• Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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 operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
• 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.
Service
• 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.
Drill safety warnings - for handheld
operation
Safety instructions for all handheld operations
• Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
• Do not drill handheld from a ladder or a scaffold.
• Make sure you stand firmly.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
• Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit.At higher speeds, the bit
is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip
in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the
bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal
injury.
Diamond drill safety warnings
• When performing drilling that requires the use of
water, route the water away from the operator's work
8
area or use a liquid collection device. Such
precautionary measures keep the operator's work
area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
• Operate power tool by insulated grasping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear hearing protection when diamond drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward
pressure and turn off the tool. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit
jamming.
• When restarting a diamond drill in the workpiece,
check that the bit rotates freely before starting. If the
bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool,
or may cause the diamond drill to release from the
workpiece.
• When the drilling through walls, ensure to protect
persons and the work area on the other side. The bit
may extend through the hole or the core may fall out
on the other side.
