DRILLING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Immediately release the trigger if the drill bit becomes stuck or
jammed. The tool’s torque can twist your arm and cause an injury. The tool
may twist of your grip and cause an injury to yourself or a bystander.
1. Keep hands and fingers away from the drilling area. Any part of body
coming in contact with moving parts could cause injury.
2. A loose or mismatched 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 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.
3. Verify the drill’s rotation before starting the drill.
4. Always hold the tool firmly in your hands before switching the tool ON. The
reaction to the motor’s torque may cause the tool to twist, as it accelerates
to full speed.
5. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where drilling may contact hidden wiring or the cord of the
charger. Contact with a ‘live’ wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
‘live’ and shock the operator.
6. Do not use drill as a router or try to elongate or enlarge holes by twisting
the drill. Drill bits can break and can cause injury.
7. Do not use a bit with a dull or damaged cutting edge. Keep the cutting edge
sharp and clean. A dull bit may cause the tool to skitter across the work
surface instead of penetrating the material. This may cause an injury and
will damage the workpiece.
8. Never force the tool’s bit. Forcing the tool will slow down the cutting speed
of the bit, causing it to bind. Apply gentle pressure and allow the bit to do
the cutting.
9. Do not apply side pressure on the bit unless it is designed for such a
purpose. The bit may bind or break.
