SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep drills, drivers and other cutters sharp and in good condition. This will
improve cutting and reduce the load on the machine ensuring a longer life
of the cutting tools and the machine.
Use only drill bits, drivers and cutters recommended by the
manufacturer.
Do not attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in any way.
Do not force the machine; let the machine do the work. This will reduce
the wear on the machine and cutter and increase its efficiency and
operating life.
Use approved safety glasses or goggles, face mask and ear defenders
when used for prolonged periods.
When using the machine above head height wear an approved safety
helmet as well as approved safety glasses or goggles and an approved
facemask.
Be aware of the high torque reaction when drilling, especially with
masonry.
When drilling masonry, do not force the drill into the work piece---let the
drill do the work.
Do not try to change any of the reverse switches while the motor is
running. Doing so could damage the machine.
Do not use this product with any attachment designed for mixing
mortar, concrete, plaster, or for any other type of mixing operation.
