Never touch the drill bit after use. It may be hot after prolonged use.
Always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Always use drill bits that are of acorrect size and shape. Drill bits that do not
fit the chuck jaws of the electric drill will perform erratically and will cause
loss of control.
• Always be sure that all chuck adjustments have been made and that the drill
bit isfastened tightly before drilling. Loose drill can cause the tool to slip, and
loss of control may result.
