General Working Instructions - Husqvarna DM 230 Operator's Manual

• Never work alone, always ensure there is another person
close at hand. Apart from being able to receive help to
assemble the machine, you can also get help if an
accident should occur.
WARNING! Use auxiliary handles supplied
!
with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
!
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
These symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or
condition. These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists.
CAUTION! Wear ear protectors with impact
!
drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. 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 hazardous situations.
• Never use a machine that has been modified in any way
from its original specification.
• Do not store or transport the drilling machine with the drill
bit fitted in order to protect your drilling machine and drill
bits from damage.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not overload the machine. Overloading can damage
the machine.
• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all
fixtures are properly tightened.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
unsing only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

General working instructions

WARNING! This section takes up the basic
!
safety precautions for working with the
drilling machine. This information is never a
substitute for professional skills and
experience. If you encounter a situation
where you are uncertain how to proceed you
should ask an expert. Contact your dealer,
service agent or an experienced drilling
machine user. Do not attempt any task that
you feel unsure of!
• The machine has a very high torque. This demands good
concentration during work, as serious personal injuries
can occur if the drill bit suddenly jams.
• Keep your hands at a safe distance from the drill spindle
and drill bit when the machine is running.
• Keep an eye open for oil or water leakage. If water or oil
trickles out from the leakage hole on the top of the pinion
neck, the seals must be replaced.
Handheld drilling
WARNING! Do not perform handheld drilling
!
in first gear as the machine has a powerful
torque that can result in personal injuries
should the drill bit jam.
• Always use a drill bit with a max. diameter of 75 mm with
handheld drilling. The larger the drill bit the greater the
reaction if the drill jams.
• Always make sure you are standing firmly when carrying
out handheld drilling.
