A concrete drill is a powerful tool that can be dangerous if not used properly. Observing the following safety tips can help reduce the risk of injury:
Always wear safety glasses and ear protection. Safety glasses protect your eyes from dust and thrown particles. Ear protectors protect your ears from loud noises.
Do not point the drill directly at yourself or others. The drill can cause serious damage if it hits objects or people.
Do not use the drill to drill holes in materials that contain harmful substances. Some materials, such as asbestos, can be released during drilling and cause illness.
Spray water continuously on the drill while working. This will help cool the bit and prevent it from getting stuck.
If the bit gets stuck, gently move it up and down to loosen it. Do not try to force the drill bit free, as this could cause injury to the drill bit or yourself.
When finished, rinse the drill bit with water to prevent clogging.
Here Here are some additional safety tips when using a concrete drill:
Use the correct size drill bit for the job. A drill with a smaller diameter is suitable for drilling in hard concrete. A drill with a larger diameter is suitable for drilling in soft concrete.
Before starting work, clean the concrete surface. This will help prevent the drill bit from getting stuck.
Use the drill bit in a safe place. Do not use the core drill in places where people or equipment may be at risk.
If you are a novice, get help from an experienced person.
