Additional Safety Points For Your Drill - Worx WX312 Safety And Operating Manual

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
POINTS FOR YOUR DRILL
1. Wear ear protectors when impact
drilling. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied
with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
3. Hold power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
4. Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool.
Use a dust mask or respirator for
applications which generate dust.
5. Secure the material being drilled.
Never hold it in your hand or across
legs. Unstable support can cause the drill
bit to bind causing loss of control and
injury.
6. Disconnect battery pack from tool
or place the switch in the locked
or off position before making any
assembly, adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
7. Position yourself to avoid being
caught between the tool or side
handle and walls or post. Should the
bit become bound or jammed in the work,
the reaction torque of the tool could crush
your hand or leg.
8. If the bit becomes bound in the
workpiece, release the trigger
immediately, reverse the direction
of rotation and slowly squeeze the
trigger to back out the bit. Be ready
for a strong reaction torque. The drill body
will tend to twist in the opposite direction
as the drill bit is rotating.
9. Do not grasp the tool or place your
hands too close to the spinning
