causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out
of the work and pull the tool in the direction of
this feed.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care. Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the tool, possibly
causing the bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor
has come to a complete standstill. The
spinning bit can grab the surface and pull
the tool out of your control.
Never use bits that have a cutting
diameter greater than the opening in the
base.
