Safety Warnings for Drills and Screwdriver
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cut-
ting accessory and fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local util-
ity 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
insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque
that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject 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.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn
or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a com-
plete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can
jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
