Lotus 12V Cordless Drill Safety Guidelines

Here is the same format for the Lotus cordless drill. The "unplug" rules become "remove the battery", and the blade rules become bit rules.

🔴 RULE 1: Remove the battery before you touch the bit. Never touch, wipe or adjust the bit or chuck while the battery is attached. Take the battery out first, every time.

🔴 RULE 2: Never change the bit while the battery is attached. Take out the battery, wait until the chuck has fully stopped, then swap the bit.

🔴 RULE 3: Always check that the bit is tight before every use. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it is locked in the 10 mm keyless chuck. A loose bit can wobble, slip or fly out of the hole.

🟡 4. Let the bit cool before handling it. Bits get very hot, especially when drilling metal. Remove the battery first, then wait a few minutes.

🟡 5. Inspect the bit before use. Replace a bent, cracked, chipped or dull bit.

🟡 6. Pick the right bit. Screwdriver bits for screws, wood bits for wood, metal bits for metal and thin steel.

🟡 7. Set the torque ring first. Use a low setting for screws and a higher one for drilling. Raise it step by step to avoid stripping screws or damaging the material.

🟡 8. Check the forward/reverse switch before pulling the trigger. Only change direction when the drill has fully stopped.

🟡 9. Wear protection. Safety glasses, a dust mask and gloves when needed. Hearing protection for long jobs.

🔴 10. Clamp your work. Never hold small pieces with your hand while drilling or driving screws.

🟡 11. Start slowly. Squeeze the trigger lightly, let the bit bite, then add speed. Don't force the drill.

🟡 12. Keep both hands on the drill where you can, and keep it in line with the bit. Keep your fingers away from the bit.

🔴 13. Check for hidden wires and pipes before drilling into walls. Never drill where you can't be sure what is behind the surface.

🔴 14. Do not put the drill down until the chuck has completely stopped.

🟡 15. Charge with the supplied charger only. Don't leave the battery on the charger long after it is full, and let a hot battery cool before charging.

🟡 16. Remove the battery and store safely after use. Keep the drill and battery dry, cool and out of reach of children.

🔴 17. Stop if something feels wrong. Sparks, smoke, a burning smell, a swollen battery, strange noise or heavy vibration mean remove the battery and have it checked at a Lotus authorized service center before using it again.

🔴 are the most important rules and 🟡 are things to check or keep in mind.

I wrote these from general cordless drill practice, not from the Lotus manual, so please check them against the manual in your box. I can add them to the Lotus page as a safety section with the same red and yellow markers.
