Safety Rules for Impact Drill
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting
tools 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. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable,
disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise can cause hearing loss. Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over
torque reaction or kick-back. High torque 3/8" and larger chuck capacity drills are equipped
with auxiliary handles.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respira-
tor for applications which generate dust.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent rest periods. Vibra-
tion caused by hammer-drill action may be harmful to your hands and arms.
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 rigger 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 ammed 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 direc-
tion of rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready for a strong reac-
tion 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.
