Additional Safety Warnings - Skil 6239 Manual Del Propietário

Secure the material being drilled . Never hold it in your hand or across legs . Unstable
support can cause the drill bit to bind causing loss of control and injury.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON" . Before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger
lock is "OFF" . Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
Position the cord clear of rotating bit . Do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist .
If you lose control and have the cord wrapped around your arm or wrist it may entrap you and
cause injury.
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and walls or
posts . Should the bit become bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the tool
could crush your hand or leg.
If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the trigger immediately, reverse the
direction of rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready for a
strong reaction torque. The drill body will tend to twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is
rotating.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit .
Your hand may be lacerated.
Do not use the switch "Lock-ON" feature in situations where drill bit binding is likely .
(For example: just before the bit is ready to break through the material, anytime when
using a "Hole Saw", auger bits etc .) When the bit binds, the drill's body will twist or kick-
back in opposite direction and the release of the trigger "Lock- ON" may be difficult.
Be aware of the location and setting of the switch "Lock-ON" button . If the switch is
locked "ON" during the use, be ready for emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by first
pulling the trigger then immediately releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON" button.
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank of the bit well within the jaws of the chuck . If
the bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced and the loss of
control is increased.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories . Dull or damaged bits have a greater
tendency to bind in the workpiece.
When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective
gloves when grasping the bit or accessory . Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.
Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the drill before
switching the tool "ON" . Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking you or a
bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at your side . A spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply . While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to
the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease . Slippery hands cannot safely control
the power tool.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform . Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool . When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted . Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
