CDM1H HAND-HELD CORE DRILL — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■Maintain the core drill and drill bits with care. Keep drill bits sharp. Sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind.
■If drilling into a workpiece that is unattached, use clamps or other means to secure the workpiece so that it will not move. NEVER hold the workpiece by hand or againist your body.
■Use this core drill only for its intended purpose. DO NOT use this core drill for applications not recommended.
■Inspect the drill after each use. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately. DO NOT use a defective core- drill.
■NEVER point the core drill at anyone in the area when operating.
■ALWAYS hold the core drill firmly with both hands when drilling.
■NEVER cover the air vents on the body of the core drill. ALWAYS leave these vents exposed. These vents are essential for the cooling of the electric motor. NEVER place tape over the vent to keep out dust.
■If a malfunction occurs, immediately unplug the core drill from the power source and correct the problem. If the problem can not be corrected, contact your nearest MQ service center.
■DO NOT force your core drill. Excerting excessive force while drilling will damage your machine and is hazardous.
■ALWAYS make sure drill bits are installed securely so that it will slip or fall out. It is hazardous to use a core drill with a loose fitted drill bit.
■Some materials contain chemicals which may be toxic.Take precautions to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■ALWAYS test the ON/OFF switch on the core drill before operating. The purpose of this switch is to shut down the electric motor.
■NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged where the insulation has been cut.
■NEVER carry the core drill by its power cord or disconnect it by yanking the cord from the power outlet.
■ALWAYS make certain that the proper extension cord has been selected for the job. See Table 4.
■NEVER allow power cord to lay in water.
■NEVER stand in water while operating the core drill.
■DO NOT walk around with a plugged in core drill. The possibility exist of your finger accidently hitting the power ON/OFF switch, causing severe bodily harm or even death.
■When connecting the core drill to a power receptacle, make sure the receptacle circuit is connected to either a GFCI receptacle or a receptacle protected by a 20 amp circuit breaker.
■When plugging the
■This core drill is equipped with a
■Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
■DO NOT expose the the core drill to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the drill wii increase the risk of electrical shock.
■When operating the core drill outside, be sure to use the apporpriate outdoor extension cord.This type of extension cord reduces the risk of electrical shock.
■ALWAYS hold core drill by its insulated gripping handle when performing work. The possibility exists of the drill bit making contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire can cause electrical shock to the operator.
■ALWAYS remove the AC power cord from the power source before performing any service or maintenance on the core drill. This preventative safety measure reduces the possibility of accendental starting.
