Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
•
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Brace the tool properly before use. This
•
tool produces a high output torque and without
properly bracing the tool during operation,
loss of control may occur resulting in personal
injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
•
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory 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.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
•
between the tool or 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.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
•
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
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 WARNINGS FOR ANGLE DRILL
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
•
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
–
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
–
other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
–
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
•
depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
Work in a well-ventilated area.
–
Work with approved safety equipment, such
–
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
–
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or
to lie on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals.
