d. Precautions.
(1) Make certain to select the proper size extractor for the job.
(2) Never attempt to drill a hole in the broken screw or tap without
first centering the drill. Use a drill guide whenever possible.
(3) Avoid using too much pressure when backing out the broken screw
or tap. Do not apply too much leverage with the wrench as this will break
off the extractor.
