KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
1. Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do
a job for which it was not designed.
2. Disconnect tool when changing drill bit or cutter.
3. Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the
OFF position before plugging in.
4. Do not force a tool. It will work most effi ciently at the rate
for which it was designed.
5. Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
6. Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off
and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
8. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if drill bit is unintentionally contacted.
9. Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and
specifi c limitations.
10. Use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
11. Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible
injury.

deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the
work.)

rotation.
14. Feed work into a bit or cutter against the direction of
rotation of bit or cutter.
15. Use recommended speed for drill accessory and
