Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the
workpiece.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive
pressure.
Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in
personal injury.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is
held more secure than by hand.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it
down.
The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the application tool becomes blocked.
Be prepared for high torque reactions which cause kickback.
The application
tool becomes blocked when it becomes jammed in the workpiece or when the
power tool becomes overloaded.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electrical shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water
pipes causes property damage.
Additional safety information
Hold the power tool by insulatedgripping surfaces,when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
