Drill Safety Warnings
Safety Instructions for All Operations
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise
can cause hearingloss.
• Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause
personalinjury.
• Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a
high output torque and without properly bracing the tool during
operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personalinjury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electricshock.
Safety Instructions When Using Long DrillBits
• Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed
rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend
if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personalinjury.
• Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in
contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to
bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personalinjury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not
apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss
of control, resulting in personalinjury.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Drills/Drivers/
Impact Drills
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
and drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can
cause permanent eyedamage.
• Drill bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves
when touchingthem.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and
arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent restperiods.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
movingparts.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised serviceproviders.
