WARNINGS FOR DRILL
DRIVERS
WARNING! Hold power tool by
insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting a ‘live’ wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool ‘live’ and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety Warnings Common for Drilling
Operations:
a) Before drilling into walls, ceilings, etc.,
ensure that there are no concealed power cables or
pipes in the cavity.
b) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
c) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with
the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
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 specically designed to lter out
microscopic particles.
