2. Safety instructions when using long
drill bits
Never operate at higher speed
1)
than the maximum speed rating of
the drill bit. At higher speeds, the drill bit
is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
2) Always start drilling at low speed
and with the drill bit tip in contact
with the workpiece. At higher speeds,
the drill bit is likely to bend if allowed
to rotate freely without contacting the
workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
3) Apply pressure only in direct line
with the drill bit and do not apply
excessive pressure. Drill bits can bend
causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.
