Extension Cord Safety - Promaker PRO-TP800 User Manual

shield, hearing protection and
dust mask when drilling concrete.
Do not drill material too small to be
securely held.
Always keep hands out of the path
of the drill bit. Avoid awkward hand
positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the
path of the drill bit.
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps
or a vice to hold the workpiece. It
is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
Make sure there are no nails or
foreign objects in the part of the
workpiece to be drilled.
To avoid injury from accidental
starting, always remove the plug
from the power source before
installing or removing a drill bit.
Do not install or use any drill bit
that exceeds 7" (17.5 cm) in length
or extends more than 6" (15 cm)
beyond the chuck jaws. They can
bend or break suddenly.
Before starting the operation, jog
the drill switch to make sure the drill
bit does not wobble or vibrate.
Do not use fly cutters or multiple-
part hole cutters, because they can
come apart or become unbalanced
during use.
Make sure the spindle has come to
a complete stop before touching the
chuck or attempting to change the
drill bit.
Always make sure the chuck is tight
and the drill bit firmly tightened in
the chuck before starting drill.

WARNING: Keep the extension
cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so it will not get
caught on the workpiece, tools or
any other obstructions while you are
working with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord used
with this tool is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one of heavy enough
gauge to carry the current the tool
will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
The table at right shows the correct
size to use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is
