Important Safety Instructions - Continued
15. Dress Properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They might
entangle with spinning chips or get caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid foot
wear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear sturdy leather gloves when working indoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
16. Do Not Abuse Cord
Never carry drill unit by its cord or yank it to discon-
nect from receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
17. Do Not Overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all time.
18. Maintain Tools With Care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance.
Do not use dull or broken Hougen Cutters.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and, if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service
facility.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
19. Disconnect Tools
Disconnect when not in use, before servicing, and
when changing cutters or accessories.
20. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches
Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it
on.
21. Check Damaged Parts
Before further use of the drill, a part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this operator
manual. Do not operate tool if switch does not turn
it on and off.
24. Additional Safety Precautions
Arbor and cutter should never be used as a hand-
hold. Keep hands and clothing away from all moving
parts. Do not use Hougen Cutters where ejected slug
might cause injury (slug ejected at end of cut).
Also, adhere to all operating instructions. Do not drill
through any surface that may contain live electrical
wiring. Drilling into a live wire could cause exposed metal
parts of the drill to be made live. Remove chips wrapped
around Cutter and arbor after each hole. With motor off
and power disconnected, grasp chips with leather gloved
hand or pliers and pull while rotating counterclockwise.
Should the cutter become jammed in the work, stop the
unit immediately to prevent personal injury. Disconnect the
drill from the power supply and loosen jammed cutter by
turning the arbor counterclockwise. Never attempt to free
the jammed cutter by starting the motor. Service at
authorized repair center only.
25. Operating Near Welding Equipment
DO NOT operate this unit on the same work surface that
welding is being performed on. Severe damage to the
unit, particularly the power cord, could occur. This could
also result in personal injury to the operator.
26. Circuit Breaker
Changing of the circuit breaker to a higher amp rated
breaker, or bypassing the circuit breaker is not
recommended and is cause for cancelation of the
product warranty.
27. Circuit Breaker Operation
The circuit breaker is a thermal circuit breaker. When it
reaches the higher temperature rating it will trip and cause
the unit to shut down. This is a protection device and can
be reset after 5 to 10 seconds of cool down period. To
reset the circuit breaker, press the breaker button back in.
If it does not reset, let the unit cool a little longer until you
can push the button in and it stays in position.
28. Safe Electrical Connection
Wet electrical connections are
shock hazards. To prevent the
cutting fl uid from traveling along
the cord and contacting the plug
or power outlet, tie a drip loop as
shown. Also elevate extension
cords or gang box connections.
29. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
22. Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized
service center.
23. Outdoor Use Extension Cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
