Hammer Drill Safety Warnings - Ryobi R860012 Operator's Manual

HAMMER DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
 Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING
LONG DRILL 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.
 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.
 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.
