to avoid injury.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.

7 Operation

CAUTION
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will
pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with
the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both
hands so that the resulting opposing force causes
the slip clutch to release in the event of the drill bit
sticking. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece
securely.
