1. EYE/FACE/HAND PROTECTION. A face shield used with safety glasses is recommended. Always
keep hands and fingers away from the drill bit. Never hold a workpiece by hand while drilling! DO
NOT wear gloves when operating the drill.
2. GUARD. Only use this machine when the chuck guard is inplace and positioned over the chuck.
3. SECURING BIT. Properly tighten and securely lock the drill bit in the chuck.
4. CORRECT BIT. Use only round, hex, or triangular shank drill bits.

of all objects (tools, scrap wood, etc.) DO NOT drill material that does not have a flat surface,
