Check to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the drill before
switching the tool "ON". Keys or wrenches can
fly away at high velocity striking you or a
bystander.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the
power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to
disassemble any portion of the tool since
internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or
safety guard return springs may be improperly
mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
