safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
7. Position yourself to avoid
being caught between the tool
or side handle and walls or post.
Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction
torque of the tool could crush your
hand or leg.
8. If the bit becomes bound
in the workpiece, release the
trigger immediately, reverse the
direction of rotation and slowly
squeeze the trigger to back
out the bit.
Be ready for a strong
reaction torque. The drill body
will tend to twist in the opposite
direction as the drill bit is rotating.
9. Do not grasp the tool or place
your hands too close to the
spinning chuck or drill bit.
Your
hand may be lacerated.
10. When installing a drill bit,
insert the shank of the bit well
within the jaws of the chuck.
If
the bit is not inserted deep enough,
the grip of the jaws over the bit is
reduced and the loss of control is
increased.
11. Do not use dull or damaged
bits and accessories.
Dull or
damaged bits have a greater
tendency to bind in the workpiece.
12. When removing the bit from
the tool avoid contact with
skin and use proper protective
gloves when grasping the bit or
accessory.
Accessories may be
hot after prolonged use.
13. Check to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed
from the drill before switching
the tool “ON”.
Keys or wrenches
can fly away at high velocity striking
you or bystander.
14. Do not run the dill while
carrying it at your side.
A
spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury
may result.
15. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the wheels, discs
or brushes especially when
working corners, sharp edges,
etc.
This can cause loss of control
and kickback.
16. Position the tether clear of
rotating bit. Do not wrap the
tether around your arm or wrist.
If you lose control and have the
tether wrapped around your arm or
wrist, it may entrap you and cause
injury.
