WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.
■ Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory or
fastener may contact hidden wiring. The
cutting accessory or fastener contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using
long drill bits:
■ 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.
■ Use auxiliary handles if these are
supplied with the power tool. The loss of
control may result in injuries.
