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.
