3.2 Equipment Specific Safe Operating Procedure (SOP)
1. Before Drilling
Picture 1
a) Put on required PPE.
b) Mark the areas to be drilled.
c) Secure the work piece with a clamp/vise-NEVER work free hand.
d) Install the bit as far into the chuck as possible-do not do this when
operating the tool.
e) Tighten the chuck by hand.
f) Select the direction of rotation using the reversing switch lever (see
picture 1).
2. Drilling
Picture 2
a) Plug in and turn on the drill-Do not point the drill toward yourself or
anyone else and keep hands away from the rotating bit, to prevent injury.
b) Do not place your hands on the work piece-keep them as far away from
the rotating bit as possible to prevent an entanglement or other hazard.
c) If drilling a large diameter hole, hold the tool firmly with both hands.
d) Place the tool firmly against the work piece-do not actuate the tool unless
this is done.
e) Pull the trigger (see picture 2) to drive the bit and drill a hole-do not hold
or carry the tool with a finger on the trigger and do not hand it to someone
in this condition-accidental drilling can be extremely dangerous.
f) Exert care when the drill starts to break through the work piece as the
force exerted on the bit at the time could cause you to slip or fall.
g) Do not apply too much pressure on the tool - pressing excessively on the
tool will not speed up drilling.
h) For continuous drilling, use the lock button but ensure you are able to turn
it off in case of an emergency.
i) NEVER try to stop the drill with your hand.
j) If the bit becomes jammed, disconnect the tool and set the reversing
switch to reverse rotation to back it out. Hold it firmly and back bit out
slowly.
3. After Drilling
a) Release the trigger (see picture 3) to turn off the drill and disconnect when
not in use.
b) Remove the bit. Turn the chuck counterclockwise to loosen.
c) Hang the tool up or put away in dry storage-never hang the tool on a waist
belt or the like-dangerous accidental drilling may result.
d) Loosen the clamp/vise and remove the work piece.
e) Remove the chips from the area with a brush, NEVER by hand.
f) Clean the drill. NEVER clean the tool while it is in motion.
g) Sweep the floor surrounding the drill.
