7. Always check that the material being drilled is secure and clamped in place if
necessary to prevent any movement. An unstable workpiece can cause the drill bit to
bind, causing of control and injury.
8. Never hold the workpiece in your hand, lap or against other parts of the body when
drilling. Contact with the drill bit can cause injury.
9. Always position the cord away from the rotating bit and DO NOT wrap the cord around
your arm or wrist. If the cord is caught by the rotating bit or chuck you may lose
control of the drill and become entrapped by the cord, causing personal injury.
10. When using the drill, DO NOT position yourself between the tool and a wall or post.
If the bit jams or becomes bound in the workpiece, the sudden reaction torque of the
tool could crush your hand, arm or leg against a stationary object.
11. If the bit jams or binds in the work, immediately release the switch trigger to prevent
personal injury. Unplug the drill from the power source and then remove the drill bit
from the work. Do not attempt to free the jammed drill bit by repeatedly starting and
stopping the drill motor; this action could result in injury.
12. Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull or damaged bits are more likely
to bind in the workpiece.
13. Do not use bits larger then those recommended. They are more likely to jam, causing
loss of tool control and personal injury. Large bits may also overload the drill, causing
motor and gear damage.
14. When removing the drill bit from the tool avoid contact with skin. Allow sufficient time
for the bit to cool down or use proper protective gloves to handle the bit or accessory.
Drill bits and accessories may be hot after prolonged use.
