ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. USE AUXILIARY HANDLES SUPPLIED WITH THE TOOL. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
2. HOLD POWER TOOLS BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN
PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY
CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
3. VERIFY the direction of rotation before starting the tool.
4.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE DIRECTION of rotation while switch is
“ON”. To do so, may damage the drill. Be sure switch is “OFF” and
motor has completely stopped before changing direction of rotation.
5. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC.
Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with
these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available
from your material supplier.
6. DO NOT use bits larger than those recommended in Fig. A. They
increase the chance of jamming. Large bits may also overload the drill
and damage the motor and gears.
7. USE ONLY the proper chuck key to tighten or loosen the chuck. Do not
use chuck if jaws or other parts are cracked or worn.
8. NEVER hold work in your hand, lap, or against other parts of your body
when drilling.
9. DO NOT use drill as a router or try to elongate or enlarge holes by
twisting the drill. Drill bits may break and cause injury.
10. There are certain applications for which this tool was
designed. Porter-Cable strongly recommends that this tool NOT be
modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was
designed. If you have any questions relative to its application DO NOT
