hot water, kerosene or gum and pitch remover. Never use gasoline. Allow
to dry before using. Discard the bit if the gum or pitch cannot be removed.
4. Do not apply side pressure on the bit unless it is designed for such a
purpose. The bit may bind or break.
5. A loose or mismatched cutting bit may be ejected by the tool, causing an
injury to the user or a bystander. It may also fail to penetrate the material
as the point may move around under pressure, damaging the workpiece.
a. Ensure the cutting bit shank size matches the tool’s chuck or collet size.
b. Tighten the chuck or collet so the shank is tightly held with no room
to move.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting accessory caught
on the material. The material can be ejected and inflict a serious injury on the
user or a bystander. Kickback can also damage the tool or workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the material and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist a kickback. Kickback can propel the material in the
direction of the cutting accessory’s rotation.
2. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the cutting accessory.
3. Only use cutting accessories designed for the tool.
4. Clamp the workpiece to prevent rotation when the drill bit cuts into
the material.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
