electric cord wrapped around a spinning bit may
cause personal injury and loss of control.
When using this product it is essential that the
following rules for use are followed:
When drilling it is common that the core / drill bit
jams in the material being drilled. This will result in
the product trying to rotate around the drill bit and
potentially come out of your grip. This product has
a safety clutch mechanism. This safety clutch
mechanism will be activated and stop the drive to
the drill bit BUT only if you resist the initial forces
caused by the jamming by securely holding the
product with both hands.
Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to
dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material
chips could dislodge and cause injury.
