Entanglement hazards:
Choking, scalping and/or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, personal jewellery,
neckware, hair or gloves are not kept away from the tool and accessories.
Operating hazards:
Use of the tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards, including cuts,
abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands.
Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the bulk,
weight and power of the tool.
Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements and
have both hands available.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
High-reaction torque can be developed in the case of stalling, which can be caused
by excessive loads being applied to the drill bit, by the drill bit snagging on the
material being drilled into or by the drill bit breaking through the material being drilled.
Keep hands away from the rotating chuck and drill bit.
Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.
Personal protective safety glasses shall be used;
suitable gloves and protective clothing are recommended.
