(B) Additional safety rules for drills
a) Recommendation for the operator to wear hearing protection. Wear ear protectors with drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles (if supplied with the tool). Loss of control can cause injuries.
c) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the accessory
or the screw may contact hidden wiring or the tool's own power cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
d) Hold the power tool with a firm grip with both hands (if possible) and keep a good balance.
The tool is best guided with both hands. If bit gets locked, a strong torque reaction may occur when screwing
in or loosening screws.
e) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local
utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or electric shock.
f) Secure the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across your legs or against your
body. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. An unstable
workpiece can cause loss of control of the tool and/or injury.
g) Position yourself so as to avoid being caught between the tool or auxiliary handle or bit and the wall or
posts or workpiece. Should the bit become jammed in the workpiece, the reaction torque of the tool
could crush your body.
h) Do not use dull or damaged bits and/or accessories. Dull or damaged bits/accessories have a greater
tendency to get jammed in the workpiece, or to break, or to be ejected.
i) When installing a bit/accessory in the chuck, insert the shank of the bit/accessory well inside the chuck.
If the bit / accessory is not inserted deeply enough, the grip of the chuck over the shank of the bit / accessory is
greatly reduced likely to increase the risk of loss of control. After inserting the bit, pull on it, so as to ensure that it
is properly locked.
j) If the bit becomes bound or jammed in the workpiece, immediately stop the tool by releasing
the trigger switch, then reverse the rotation direction and slowly squeeze on the trigger switch to release
and remove the bit. Be ready for strong reaction torque likely to cause a kickback.
k) Never grasp the tool (the chuck or the bit/accessory) while in motion and never place your hands too close
to the spinning chuck or drill bit. Laceration hazard.
l) Avoid touching the drill bit just after use, as it may be hot. Similarly, when removing the
bit/accessory from the tool, wear protective gloves to grasp it. Accessories (bits) may become hot
after prolonged use. Avoid contact with skin. Burn hazard
m) Always wait until the chuck and accessory have come to a complete stop before placing it down.
The accessory can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
n) Some materials may contain chemicals that can be toxic. Avoid inhalation of dust and any contact
with the skin.
