DRILL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. ALWAYS make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign

objects.

2. After changing bits and accessories or making adjustments, make sure the

chuck is securely tightened and that the chuck key has been removed.

3. ALWAYS check bits for damage before each use. Damaged bits or other

accessories can break during use and cause serious injury.

4. NEVER use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care.

Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force possibly

causing the bit to break.

5. Use of a dust collection system reduces dust-related hazards.

6. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to allow

you to resist kickback forces. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction

opposite to the tool's movement at the time of snagging.

7. Use metal and voltage detectors to locate hidden electric. water or gas

lines. Avoid touching live components or conductors.

8. Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under

the workpiece.

9. If you are interrupted when operating the drill, switch off the tool before

looking up.
