SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPADE HANDLE DRILLS
Before drilling into walls, ceilings etc, ensure there are no concealed
power cables or pipes in the cavity.
Always use the side or spade handle, this gives you greater control should
an accessory become jammed.
Keep the cord clear of the accessory being used, do not wrap the cord
around your arm or wrist.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Accessories used with this product must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool rating label.
Warning!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
The risk from such exposures vary depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals; work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles. Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty
applications and when drilling/chiselling overhead. Sanding particles can
be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health
complications.
