Safety instructions when using long drill bits
a) Never operate at higher speed than the
–
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if al­
lowed to rotate freely without contacting
the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
– b) Always start drilling at low speed and
with the bit tip in contact with the work­
piece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to
bend if allowed to rotate freely without con­
tacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
– c) Apply pressure only in direct line with
the bit and do not apply excessive pres­
sure. Bits can bend causing breakage or
loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
