CAUTION :

.Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

0 There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on the tool/bit a t the time of hole break- through. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins t o break through the workpiece. Use both hands to help control the tool. Be sure to use the side grip (auxiliary handle) to maintain proper control.

0 A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.

0 Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.

*The use of wire brushes and other accessories on this tool may easily cause jamming, pinching or binding whereby the tool could be twisted unsafely from your hands.
