CAUTION
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will
pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with
the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both hands
so that the resulting opposing force causes the slip clutch
to release in the event of the drill bit sticking. Use clamps
or a vice to hold the workpiece securely.
