may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f )

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g)

tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazard-

SPECIAL TOOLS SAFETY
WARNINGS
Drill safety warnings
1) Safety instructions for all operati-
ons
a)
Use the auxiliary handle(s).
Loss of control
can cause personal injury.
b)
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 personal injury.
c)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2) Safety instructions when using
long drill bits
a)
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 personal injury.
b)
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 personal injury.
c)
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 personal injury.
Diamond drill safety warnings
a)
When performing drilling that requires
the use of water, route the water away
from the operator’s work area or use a
liquid collection device.
Such precautionary
measures keep the operator’s work area dry
and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
b)
Operate power tool by insulated grasping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
