This action prevents the drill from pulling into the work and breaking.<\/li><li>Keep drill bits clean and sharp. Dull drills are a common cause of breakage.<\/li><li>Keep the floor around the drill press free of oil and grease.<\/li><li>Keep the working surface clean of scraps, tools, and materials.<\/li><li>Keep guards in place and in good working order.<\/li><li>Shut off power before removing the drill bit.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:84%\">\n<h3 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">What are some things you should avoid doing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do not wear any loose clothing or ties.
