SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ELECTRIC DRILLS
WARNING: DO NOT LET COMFORT OR FAMILIARITY WITH PRODUCT (GAINED
FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO PRODUCT SAFETY RULES. If
you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!
•
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind
areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this work site.
•
Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Protective eye wear should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards. Use a
dust mask or respirator for operations which generate dust.
•
Wear ear/hearing protectors when using this tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
•
Hold the tool firmly to prevent injury that may result from loss of control because of high rotational
force.
•
Always be sure you have firm footing and check to see no one is below when using the tool
in high locations.
•
Do not hold the tool or place your hands near the rotating chuck or drill bit.
Contact with any moving parts may result in personal injury.
•
Always check that the material being drilled is secure and clamped in place
if necessary to prevent any movement. An unstable workpiece can cause the drill bit to bind, causing of
control and injury.
•
Never hold the workpiece in your hand, lap or against other parts of the
body when drilling. Contact with the drill bit can cause injury.
•
Always position the cord away from the rotating bit and DO NOT wrap the
cord around your arm or wrist. If the cord is caught by the rotating bit or chuck you may lose
control of the drill and become entrapped by the cord, causing personal injury.
•
When using the drill, DO NOT position yourself between the tool and a wall
or post. If the bit jams or becomes bound in the work piece, the sudden reaction torque of the tool could
crush your hand, arm or leg against a stationary object.
•
If the bit jams or binds in the work, immediately release the switch trigger to prevent personal
injury. Unplug the drill from the power source and then remove the drill bit from the work. Do not attempt to
free the jammed drill bit by repeatedly starting and stopping the drill motor; this action could result in injury.
