Diamond Products CB500-HH Drill Motor - Manual (Page 2)

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the off position before plugging in any power
tool. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury or death.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use proper and appropriate safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Appropriate
respirators or dusk masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is instable and may lead to loss of control resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and more safely.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired prior to use.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of the tool
starting accidently.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other unauthorized or untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that could effect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced prior to use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for or specifically designed for your model
machine. Accessories that may be suitable for a particular tool may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified and authorized repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personal could result in unit failure and risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only correct replacement parts provided by the original equipment
manufacturer. Use of unauthorized parts may create a risk of electrical shock or injury.
OPERATION
• DRILLING
1. Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories.
2. Use sharp bits only.
3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to continue drilling, but
do not push hard enough to overload the motor.
5. Hold tool firmly to control the twisting action form the torque of the drill motor.
