Safety Warnings for Drills and Screwdriver
f Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cut-
ting accessory and fasteners contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
f Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local util-
ity company for assistance. Contact with electric
lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
f Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool
insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque
that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
f Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction
torque can briefly occur while driving in and loosening
screws.
f Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
f Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn
or explode.
f Always wait until the machine has come to a com-
plete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can
jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
