SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, and heavy-duty gloves. Use respiratory protection (at least P2 or N95 mask) when dry drilling . Wear protective gloves when changing core bits as they may become hot during operation .
Electrical Safety: Check power cord for damage before use. Do not operate in wet conditions. Use RCD where required. Pay attention to mains voltage; voltage must match the rating plate .
Dust Hazard: Dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to health. Use a dust extraction system suitable for the material wherever possible. Provide good ventilation. Materials containing asbestos may only be machined by specialists .
Drilling Safety: Seek advice from a structural engineer, architect or construction supervisor regarding planned drill holes before starting work. Do not penetrate reinforcements unless authorised. When drilling holes that penetrate walls or ceilings, always check the area for obstacles. Close off the work site and prevent drill cores from falling .
Kickback Hazard: Maintain a firm grip and proper stance. Be prepared for sudden reactions if the core bit jams. If the core bit jams, switch the power tool off immediately. Dislodge the core bit by turning it to the right and left using a suitable open-ended spanner .
Maintenance: Unplug tool before changing bits or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing. If the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or an authorised after-sales service centre .
Training requirement: Operators must be trained on correct usage and safety procedures. Supervisors should ensure all safety protocols are followed.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Injury (debris): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Cut Injury: Apply direct pressure to stop bleeding. Clean wound with clean water. Cover with sterile dressing. Seek medical attention if bleeding is profuse or the wound is deep.
Skin Contact (dust): Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation of Dust: Move a person to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: The tool is not flammable, but plastic casing may burn if exposed to fire. Dust accumulation at the workplace can ignite.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) for fires involving tools.
Fire Response: In event of fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers; water may be used for general fires but not for electrical fires where live equipment is involved.
