SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety goggles when drilling. Use hearing protection where appropriate. Wear protective gloves when changing drill bits .
Electrical Safety: Check power cord and extension cord for damage before use. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when drilling where hidden wiring may be contacted .
Kickback Hazard: Use auxiliary handle at all times. Be prepared for high torque reactions if the bit becomes jammed. Apply pressure in a direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure .
Dust Hazard: Drilling generates hazardous dust. Use appropriate respiratory protection (at least P2 or N95 mask) and ensure good ventilation .
Tool Safety: Ensure the bit is securely tightened in the chuck. Use sharp drill bits in perfect condition. For drilling diameters >10mm, pre-drill with a smaller bit .
Maintenance: Unplug tool before changing bits or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing.
Training requirement: Operators should be familiar with correct usage, bit selection, and safety procedures. Supervisors should ensure all safety protocols are followed.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Injury (debris): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Cut Injury: Apply direct pressure to stop bleeding. Clean wound with clean water. Cover with sterile dressing. Seek medical attention if bleeding is profuse or the wound is deep.
Skin Contact (dust): Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation of Dust: Move a person to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.
