1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER!!!
The following instructions are essential safety measures that you must take.
Unless observed, improper way of use leads to death or serious injury of yourselves or others.
[1]
Know your machine. Read this manual carefully to learn the application of the machine and the limitations as
well as potential hazards associated with the machine.
[2]
During the operation, the Core-Bit rotates with very high speed. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects,
rings, and jewelry to eliminate the risk in which the operator gets caught in the moving parts such as the
Core-Bit. Keep your face away from the air inlet, outlet of the motor. Long hair must be tied up.
[3]
Always wear protective clothing such as helmets, safety goggles, earplugs, heavy-duty gloves, and special
work boots with reinforced toe. (During the operation, do not wear gloves to reduce the risk in which the
operator gets caught with the Core-Bit.)
Max. Noise Level of this machine is
84.5dB(A).
[4]
Do not operate when you are tired or under the influence of any medicine, drugs, and alcoholic beverages.
[5]
Consider the work area environment. Do not expose the drill motor to water. Water in the drill motor
increases the risk of electric shock.
[6]
Do not operate the machine in the presence of flammable liquids or explosive or combustible gas. Sparks
generated by Armature and Carbon Brushes in the Drill Motor could cause an explosion of fire.
[7]
In case of operation in a closed room or basement, make sure that the air is in good condition (plenty of
oxygen, no toxic gas), before operation.
[8]
Before operation, do ensure that the Core-Bit is connected with the Spindle of the Drill Motor tightly and
securely, so that the Core-Bit will not come off and not cause damage to persons and property around.
