between the tool and walls or posts. Should
the bit become bound or jammed in the work,
the reaction torque of the tool could crush your
hand or leg.
Always wait until the tool has come to a
•
complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
When working with the power tool, always
•
hold it firmly with both hands and assume

Safety instructions when using long
Never operate at higher speed than the
•
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to
rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the
•
bit tip in contact with the workpiece.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if
•
allowed to rotate freely without contacting the
workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
•
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits
can bend causing breakage or loss of control,
resulting in personal injury.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
•
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
–
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
