ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas
where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all
fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
2. Wear hearing protection when using the tool for extended periods.
Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
3. Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over torque reaction or
kick-back. Never attempt to operate this tool with one hand.
High torque
3/8’’and larger chuck capacity drills are equipped with auxiliary handles.
4. Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.
5. Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking
frequent rest periods.
Vibration caused by hammer-drill action may be
harmful to your hands and arms.
6. Secure the material being drilled. Never hold it in your hand or across
legs.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to bind causing loss of control
and injury.
7. Never leave the switch on. Before plugging the tool in, check that the
switch is off.
Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
8. Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do not wrap the cord around your
arm or wrist.
If the cord becomes entangled with the spinning bit it could
entrap you causing serious personal injury.
9. Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle
and walls or posts.
Should the bit become bound or jammed during the work,
the reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.
10. If the bit becomes bound in the work piece, release the trigger
immediately, reverse the direction of rotation and slowly squeeze the
trigger to back out the bit.
Be ready for a strong reaction torque. The drill
body will tend to twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is rotating.
11. Do not grasp the spinning chuck or drill bit.
Your hand may be lacerated.
12. Do not use the switch “lock on” feature in situations where drill bit
binding is likely. (ie: just before the bit is ready to break
through the material anytime when using a “hole saw”, auger bits. etc)
When the bit binds, the drill’s body will twist or kick-back in opposite direction
and the release of the trigger “lock On” may be difficult.
13. Be aware of the location and setting of the switch "lock-on" button.
If the
switch is locked “ON” during the use, be ready for emergency situations to
switch it “OFF”, by first pulling the trigger then immediately releasing it without
pressing the “Lock on” button.
14. When installing a drill bit, insert the shank of the bit well within the jaws
of the chuck.
If the bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip of the jaws over
the bit is reduced and the risk of the loss of control is increased.
15. Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories.
Dull or damaged bits
have a greater tendency to bind in the work piece.
