1. Know your drilling machine! Read the Owner’s manual carefully. Learn
the operation, application and limitations, as well as the specific potential
hazards peculiar to this equipment.
2. NEVER connect the green [or green & yellow] wire to a live terminal.
3. Use only three-wire grounded extension cords suitable for use outdoors
and of sufficient gage to accommodate power requirements.
4. Replace frayed or damaged extension cords.
5. Keep the work area clean avoiding cluttered work areas.
6. Consider the work area environment!
- Do not expose power tools to rain.
- Wear rubber boots to further insulate yourself from the drill.
- Mop up all excessive water around the work area before and after
drilling.
- Keep the work area well lit.
7. Use extreme caution when drilling through floors. Provide for protection
of all personnel and material below the area. Cores generally drop from
the drill bit at the completion of the hole.
8. Keep visitors away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All
visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
9. Do not force the bit into drilling surface.
10. Dress properly for the work being performed.
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry which can get caught in moving or
rotating parts.
11. Don’t abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by the cord or yank the cord to
disconnect the plug from the receptacle.
12. Don’t overreach! Keep proper footing and balance at all times. The
slippery surface created during the drilling operation results in unstable
footing.
13. ALWAYS disconnect the power before servicing or changing accessories
or bits.
14. ALWAYS check, then make sure wrenches are removed from the motor
spindle and bit adapter before connecting power or starting the drill
motor.
15. ALWAYS make sure power switch is in “off” position before connecting
drill to power.
16. Never drill by hand a bit that is over 4” (100 mm) in diameter. Use a drill
stand for bits over 4” (100 mm) in diameter.
