2. Safety instructions when using long drill bits
a. Never operate at a higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the
bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
b. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit
tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds,
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
c. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call your local utility
company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool
becomes blocked or stuck. Be prepared for high reaction
torque that can cause kickback. The tool becomes blocked
when:
• the power tool is subjected to overload
• or it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
