Product Specific Safety Rules
I. Safety Instructions for All Operations
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles when supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold tool by insulating gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting tool or fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• When a suspension device is used, ensure that it is securely fastened. Failure to secure may result in loss of control, unexpected motion, or
dropping of the tool.
• Keep clear of pinch point between reaction bar or support handles and any fixed object in work area. Pinching or other injury may occur.
• Anticipate the torque reaction developed when the drill bit snags or binds, which occurs when breaking through the material being
drilled or when heavily loaded. If it snags or binds, the torque reaction will suddenly increase which may cause loss of control. If it snags or
binds, release the trigger.
• Do not use any drill bits or other accessory having a maximum operating speed less than the free speed of the drill/driver. They may
break causing injury.
• Securely tighten drill bits or other accessories in the chuck before operating the drill/driver. They can become projectiles when drill/driver
is started.
• For reversible models, note the position of the reversing mechanism before operating. Knowledge of the direction of rotation helps in
maintaining control of the tool.
• Use only bits, sockets and adapters which are in good condition and are intended for use with power tools. Use only impact sockets and
accessories. Do not use hand (chrome) sockets or accessories since the torque will cause them to break in use.
• Drill/Drivers are not torque wrenches. Connections requiring specific torque must be checked with a torque meter after fitting with a
drill/driver. Improperly torqued fasteners may loosen and cause injury.
• Exposed throttles shall not be used where obstructions can hold the throttle in the "on" position. You may not be able to turn the tool off.
• On Angle Tools, whenever the Angle Head is installed or repositioned, the Throttle Lever must be positioned so that reaction torque will
not tend to retain the throttle in the "ON" position. You may not be able to turn the tool off.
II. Safety Instructions When Using Long Drill Bits
• When using long bits, never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to
bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• When using long bits, always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely
to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• When using long bits, apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage
or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
