Listen to the [drill/saw/other tool] motor running free. When you use the tool, make sure it runs no lower than one octave below its "running free" pitch. If the pitch gets any lower than that, back off.
For those not musically inclined and wondering the technical meaning, an octave is a doubling or halving of frequency. So he's saying don't run it below 50% free speed.
