3. Personal Safety:
Sharpening operations can create hot sparks and metal debris, loud
noises and dust.
a) Stay alert - watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment (PPE). Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Use ear protection during use. Drill Doctor® unit can generate
in excess of 85 dB(A) noise emissions when in operation.
d) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, and when picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch, or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
e) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
f) Do no overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
g) Dress properly. Wear closed, non-flammable protective clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
h) Secure Work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.
It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
tool.
4. Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool or attachment. Use the correct
power tool for your application. Do not force small tools to do
the job of a heavy duty tool. The correct power tool will job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
b) Use the right tool. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it is not designed.
c) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
d) Never leave tool running unattended – Turn power off. Do not
leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
e) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
f) Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
