Additional Specific Safety Rules - Porter-Cable 7751 Instruction Manual

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
4. Verify the direction of rotation before starting the tool. Never attempt
to change direction of rotation while switch is "ON". To do so, may
damage interlock feature built into switch. Be sure switch is "OFF" and
motor has completely stopped before changing direction of rotation.
5. Always use auxiliary handle to prevent injury that may result from loss of
control because of high rotational force.
6. Apply forward force only on pistol grip handle and ONLY with your hands
when drilling. Use auxiliary handle to resist rotational force.
7. Do not use bits larger than those recommended. They may cause
personal injury due to jamming and loss of control. Large bits may also
overload the drill and damage the motor and gears.
8. Use only the chuck key to tighten or loosen the chuck.
9. Verify that the mode selecting knob, the speed shift knob, and the
reversing switch are in correct positions for the operation being performed.
10. Never hold work in hand, lap, or against other parts of the body when
drilling or hammer-drilling; to avoid injury from contact with the drill bit.
11. Use only percussion-type carbide-tipped bits when hammer-drilling.
12. Do not attempt to cut through reinforcing rods with percussion-type
bits.
13. Should the drill bit become jammed in the work, release switch trigger
immediately to prevent personal injury. Disconnect the drill from the power
circuit and remove the drill bit from the work. Do not attempt to free the
stalled bit by starting and stopping the motor. This could result in bodily
injury.
14. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.
15.
other airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always
operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis
(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and
avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or
eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.
Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or
