Drill Safety Warnings
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold 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.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but
may be easily knocked over.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from air vents. Air vents often cover
moving parts in which these items can be caught.
Hold tool firmly with two hands, one hand on the handle, and the other gripping the
bottom around the battery area or the auxiliary handle if provided. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if drilling operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSIZ87.1eyeprotection(CAN/CPAZ94.3),
• ANSIS12.6(S3.19)hearingprotection,
• NOSH/OSHArespiratoryprotection.
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andcementandothermasonryproducts,and
• arsenicandchromiumfromchemically-treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those 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, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. AlwaysuseNOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body.
