SEALES ■ SAFETY RULES FOR POWER TOOLS
power tool institute^^^l
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL — Read owner’s manual carefully. Learn its applica¬
tions and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this
tool.
2. GROUND ALL TOOLS - UNLESS DOUBLE-INSULATED. If tool is equipped with
three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle.
If adapter is used to accommodate two-prong receptacle, the adapter wire
must be attached to a known ground. Never remove third prong.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tool in damp or wet
locations. And keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, high or
locked-up place — out of reach of children.
8. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy duty tool.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving
parts. Rubber gloves and footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
11. USE SAFETY GLASSES with most tools. Also face or dust mask if cutting opera¬
tion is dusty.
12. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp at all times, and clean for best
and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
16. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing; when changing acces¬
sories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
18. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch.
GROUNDING
EVERY ELECTRIC TOOL SHOULD BE GROUNDED while in use,to protect the operator against
shock. This unit is equipped with approved 3-conductor cord and 3-blade grounding type
attachment plug to be used with the proper grounding type receptacle. The green colored
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green wire to a “live" terminal.
If your unit requires less than 150 volts, it has a plug that looks like fig. “A”. A special
grounding adapter (Fig. "B”) is available from your dealer to permit using 2-wire receptacle
until the correct receptacle is properly .installed. The green grounding wire extending from the
side of the adapter must be connected to a PERMANENT GROUND such as a properly
grounded outlet box. If the unit requires from 150 to 250 volts it has a plug like Figure J< C ’ \
No adapter is available and it should be used in the proper standard matching 3-wire
grounding receptacle.

SWITCH
The Variable Speed Trigger Switch permits "FREE HAND" speed control—the farther the trigger
is depressed, the higher the R.P.M. of the Drill. A Switch Locking Button permits locking the
trigger in the full "ON" position for continuous operation, or when using the Drill in a Vertical
Stand. To lock the trigger "ON," depress trigger fully and push in locking button, then gently
release trigger. To release locking mechanism, depress trigger fully, then release it.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for STARTING HOLES WITHOUT A CENTER PUNCH, DRILLING IN METAL
OR PLASTICS, DRIVING SCREWS, DRILLING CERAMICS, OR MIXING PAINT. Higher speeds are
better for DRILLING WOOD AND COMPOSITION BOARDS, AND FOR USING ABRASIVE AND
POLISHING ACCESSORIES.
CABLE
The cable is the life-line of your tool. Keep it clean by wiping occasionally to remove any grease
or oil. Don't let it become kinked. Avoid dragging it across sharp surfaces. Do not lift the tool
by the cable.
When using the tool at a considerable distance
from power source, a properly grounded ex¬
tension cable of adequate size must be used
to prevent loss of power and over-heating.
Use table at right for 115 Volt tools. For 220
tools, use wire size of V 2 the contemplated
cable length.

DRILLING
INSERTING DRILL BIT IN CHUCK
Turn collar to open chuck jaws. Place bit in
chuck so that end rests on chuck bottom.
Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place chuck key
in each of the three holes, and tighten in
clockwise direction. It's important to tighten
chuck with all three holes. This is a safety
feature that prevents bit slippage and motor
damage. To release bit, turn chuck key counter¬
clockwise in just one hole, then loosen chuck
by hand.
STARTING THE HOLE — WITH A VARIABLE SPEED DRILL, using a slow speed will enable you to
start the hole accurately in most cases without the need for center punching.
CARE IN DRILLING
Twist drills are brittle and will
break if enough bending stress
it applied. To avoid stress on
the drill bit, try extending your
index finger along the side of
the drill-housing with your mid¬
dle finger on the trigger. Re¬
member— guide, the tool, don’t
force it! Should the tool be¬
come overheated, run it with
no load. Because of the drill’s
construction, it will cool faster
running than by stopping it.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when
drilling metals. The excep¬
tions are iron and brass which
should be drilled dry. The
cutting lubricants that work
best are sulphurized cutting
oil or lard oil; bacon grease
will also serve the purpose.
Aluminum is best drilled with
turpentine or kerosene.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made
with the same twist drills used
for metal. These bits may
overfieat unless pulled out
frequently to clear chips from
the flutes. Work that is apt to
splinter should be backed up
with a block of wood. Let up
on the pressure just before the
tip cuts through, this will give
a good clean hole.
TO REMOVE THE CHUCK—Place the chuck key in one of the holes in the chuck. Strike the key
sharply with a piece of wood in the direction that the chuck normally rotates. This will loosen the
chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand.
