Safety Instructions for Drills
1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE
MANUAL BEFORE STARTING
DRILL. Drill presents serious injury
hazards to untrained users.
2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED
SAFETY GLASSES WHEN
OPERATING DRILL. Everyday eye-
glasses are NOT safety glasses.
3. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD
PROOF. Use padlocks, master
switches, and remove switch keys.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all
children a safe distance from the
work area.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO
NOT wear loose clothing, neck-
ties, rings, or jewelry which may
get caught in the drill chuck. Wear
protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
6. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use
drill in damp, wet locations, or
where any flammable or noxious
fumes may exist.
7. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND
WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shad-
ows may cause accidents.
8. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION
CORD RATED FOR THE DRILL
AMPERAGE. Undersized cords
overheat and lose power. Replace
extension cords if they become
damaged.
9. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep
proper footing and balance at all
times.
10.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM
POWER SOURCE BEFORE
SERVICING DRILL. Make sure
switch is in
OFF
position before
reconnecting.
11. MAINTAIN DRILL WITH CARE.
Keep blades sharp and clean
for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
12. REMOVE THE CHUCK KEY. Make
a habit of checking for the chuck
key before turning drill ON.
13. DO NOT FORCE DRILL. Work
at the speed for which the drill or
accessory was designed.
14. SECURE THE WORKPIECE.
Use clamps or a vise to hold
the workpiece when practical. A
secured workpiece protects your
hands and frees both hands to
operate the drill.
15. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN
WOODS MAY CAUSE AN ALLER-
GIC REACTION in people and ani-
mals, especially when exposed to
fine dust. Make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be
exposed to and always wear an
approved respirator when working
under these conditions.
