Hand+Drill

ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE PPE WHEN USING THIS MACHINE **SAFETY FOR THIS MACHINE:**
 * DO NOT operate while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication
 * SECURE any loose fitting jewelry or clothing, tie back long hair - they can get caught in moving parts
 * ALWAYS BE AWARE of where your fingers are in relation to the drill bit
 * DO NOT USE bits that are dull, bent or damaged
 * MAKE SURE bit is centered in chuck and tightened before operating the drill
 * USE A CLAMP when drilling metal, this will help prevent the material from spinning into your body or hand
 * NEVER hold metal in your bare hand while drilling
 * See chart below, for types of drill bits to use with this tool
 * AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the drill bit or cutting tool
 * DO NOT ATTEMPT to drill material that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used
 * TO PREVENT ROTATION OF THE WORKPIECE, ALWAYS clamp work securely to a table
 * DO NOT USE locking button unless the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise held stationary. The user may need to instantly release the on/off switch if the bit binds in the work piece
 * ALWAYS unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories
 * REFER to instruction manual for further information (see instructor)

OTHER THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING THIS MACHINE:
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The hand drill //can// be started with the drill bit in contact with the work piece
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To drill a through hole without splintering the bottom face, place the material on a scrap piece of wood. This also protects the point of the drill bit
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">!!!IMPORTANT!!! Use a scrap piece of wood to also prevent drilling into a metal table top
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To prevent rotation of the work piece, clamp the work secure to the table, either with a "C" clamp or the drill press clamp
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When using paddle/spade drill bits, you should always use a hold down clamp
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Paddle bits are not to be used on metal
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When drilling into metal, a cutting lubricant should be used. Cast iron and brass/bronze should be drilled dry
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Insert drill bits about 3/4" into the chuck and tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Do not insert drill bits so deeply that they cover the fluted portion of the bit
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If the drill stalls, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. Release the trigger immediately, remove drill bit from work piece, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL - THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To minimize stalling or breaking though the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the thorough the last fractional part of the hole
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Return bits to drawer when you are done and clean the work area
