SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL
A DANGER: Keep hands away from drilling area and drill bit. Do not reach
under the material being drilled.
Always keep your body positioned to either side of the drill, but not in line with
the drill bit.
• Do not reach underneath the work.
• Always clamp workpiece before drilling. Never hold a workpiece in your hand
or legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the drill bit, causing
loss of control.
• Never touch the drill bit after use. It may be hot after prolonged use.
• Always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
• Always use drill bits that are of a correct size and shape. Drill bits that do not
fit the chuck jaws of the electric drill will perform erratically and will cause
loss of control.
• Always be sure that all chuck adjustments have been made and that the drill
bit is fastened tightly before drilling. Loose drill can cause the tool to slip, and
loss of control may result.
A WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
