SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
– cont’d
TO AVOID INJURY
from accidental
starting, always remove the Plug from
the electrical socket before installing or
removing a drill bit, accessory or
attachment.
Use a metal detector to determine if there
are gas or water pipes hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for
assistance before beginning the operation.
Striking or cutting into a gas line will result in
explosion. Water entering an electrical device
may cause electrocution.
Always use the side handle for maximum
control over torque reaction or kick-back.
Never attempt to operate this tool with
one hand.
The slip clutch engages if you
firmly
control the tool during a torque reaction
or
kickback.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest
periods.
Vibration caused by hammer-drill
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do
not wrap the cord around your arm or
wrist.
If cord becomes entangled with the
spinning bit
it could entrap you causing
serious personal
injury.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
or posts.
Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction torque of
the tool could crush your hand or leg.
Do not strike the bit with a handheld
hammer or sledge hammer when
attempting to dislodge a bound or
jammed bit.
Fragments of metal from the bit
could
dislodge and strike you or bystanders.
