MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR DRILLS
a)
Wear ear protectors when impact drill-
ing.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
b)
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with
the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
c)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cut-
ting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
d)
Use a metal detector to determine if
there are gas or water pipes hidden in
the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance before begin-
ning the operation.
Striking or cutting into
a gas line will result in explosion. Water en-
tering an electrical device may cause elec-
trocution.
e)
Position the cord clear of rotating bit.
Do not wrap the cord around your arm
or wrist.
If cord becomes entangled with
the spinning bit it could entrap you causing
serious personal injury.
f)
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and
walls or posts.
Should the bit become
bound or jammed in the work, the reaction
torque of the tool could crush your hand or
leg.
g)
Do not strike the bit with a hand-held
hammer or sledge hammer when at-
tempting to dislodge a bound or jammed
bit.
Fragments of metal from the bit could
dislodge and strike you or bystanders.
h)
Never place the tool down until the bit or
accessory has come to a complete stop.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and ac-
cessories.
Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
i)
When removing the bit from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit
