SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ½” VARIABLE
SPEED HAMMER DRILL
WARNING: Know your hammer drill. Do not plug the hammer drill until you
have read and understand this Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s applications and
limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign objects
into your eyes and cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1
could cause serious injury when they break.
WARNING: Always use a safety shield, hearing protection and dust mask when
operating the drill in "hammer" mode.
Use only hammer drill bits and accessories that are designed for use with a hammer
drill when using this hammer drill in the hammer mode. Standard drill bits are NOT
designed for use in a hammer drill and MUST NOT be used with a hammer drill in
hammer drill mode. They may shatter and possibly cause serious injury.
Do not drill material too small to be securely held.
Always keep hands out of the path of the drill bit. Avoid awkward hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the path of the drill bit.
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
Know your hammer drill. Do not plug in the hammer drill until you have read and
understand this Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations,
as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be drilled.
To avoid injury from accidental starting, always remove the plug from the power
source before installing or removing a drill bit.
Before starting the operation, jog the drill switch to make sure the drill bit
does not wobble or vibrate.
Do not use fly cutters or multiple part hole cutters, because they can come
apart or become unbalanced during use.
Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the
chuck or attempting to change the drill bit.
Always make sure the chuck is tight and the drill bit firmly tightened in the
chuck before starting drill.
