Hammer drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
1.
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2.
Use the auxiliary handle(s).
Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no
one is below when using the tool in high locations.
5.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
6.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
8.
Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
9.
Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
10.
If the drill bit cannot be loosened even you open the
jaws, use pliers to pull it out.
In such a case, pulling out
the drill bit by hand may result in injury by its sharp edge.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
