General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

English
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

this tool without holding it with both hands. Operating this
tool with one hand will result in loss of control. Breaking through or
encountering hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as
well.
• Accessories and tool may get hot during operation. Wear
gloves when handling them if performing heat producing applications
such as hammerdrilling and drilling metals.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms.
Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking
frequent rest periods.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill Safety Warnings
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and
drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage.
• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Keep a
firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for battery chargers.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the
trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the
ON position.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack
for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do
not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced
with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center for recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack
so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.
For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the
battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
(e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a
short circuit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry
location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge
indicator showing Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but
should not be expected to perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to
light or by displaying problem pack or charger.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger
is used with some portable power sources such as generators or
sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend
operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause.
This indicates the power source is out of limits.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery
pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and
75 °F (18°–24 °C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate
a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum
charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

Screwdriving (Fig. 3)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to
match the speed and torque to the planned operation.
2. Turn the torque adjustment collar (E) to the desired position.
NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to seat the fastener
at the desired depth. The lower the number, the lower the torque
output.
3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would
any drill bit.
4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of the
workpiece to determine the proper position of the torque
adjustment collar.
5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener.
NOTE: When torque is achieved in screwdriving mode, the unit will
automatically shut off with a set of short pulses.
Drilling (Fig. 4)
NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to

3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not
exert side pressure on the bit when drillling as this will cause
clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off,
pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool still running to help clear
debris from the hole.
NOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates proper
drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, place
the forward/reverse button in the lock-off position or turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments
or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air
at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC
outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the
exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not
use water or any cleaning solutions.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion
drilling.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the
drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one
hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist.
Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting
action and avoid injury.
5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded
or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY,
remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO
NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT
TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE
DRILL.
6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of
the hole.
7 . Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled
hole. This will help prevent jamming.
Hammerdrilling (Fig. 5)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to
match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Turn the
collar (E) to the hammerdrill symbol.
IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits rated for
percussion drilling only.
2. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing
excessively or "rising" off the bit. Too much force will cause slower
drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour
les outils électriques
AVERTISSEMENT! lire tous les avertissements de
sécurité et toutes les directives. Le non-respect des
avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un
choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.
CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS
ET TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN
USAGE ULTÉRIEUR
Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte
à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles
(sans fil).
1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
a) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux
encombrés ou sombres sont propices aux accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un
milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de liquides, de
gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques
produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière
ou les vapeurs.
c) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant
l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une distraction pourrait en
faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.
2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ
a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre
à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la fiche d’aucune façon.
Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un outil
électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera
réduit par l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à
la prise.
b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la
terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières
et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est plus
élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.

Français

c) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer que
l’interrupteur se trouve à la position d’arrêt avant de relier
l’outil à une source d’alimentation et/ou d’insérer un bloc-
piles, de ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter un
outil électrique alors que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou
brancher un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est à la position
de marche risque de provoquer un accident.
d) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de démarrer
l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de réglage attachée à une partie
pivotante de l’outil électrique peut provoquer des blessures
corporelles.
e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son équilibre en
tout temps. Cela permet de mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique
dans les situations imprévues.
f) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de
vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les
vêtements et les gants à l’écart des pièces mobiles. Les
vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de
rester coincés dans les pièces mobiles.
g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de
dispositifs de dépoussiérage et de ramassage, s’assurer
que ceux-ci sont bien raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation
d’un dispositif de dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers
engendrés par les poussières.
4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D’UN OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE
a) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil électrique
approprié à l’application. L’outil électrique approprié
effectuera un meilleur travail, de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse
pour laquelle il a été conçu.
b) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur
est défectueux. Tout outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est
défectueux est dangereux et doit être réparé.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à
l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil électrique
augmente le risque de choc électrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne jamais
utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher un
outil électrique. Tenir le cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de
l’huile, des bords tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les
cordons endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques
de choc électrique.
e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir
d’une rallonge convenant à cette application. L’utilisation
d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduira les risques de
choc électrique.
f) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un outil électrique
dans un endroit humide, brancher l’outil dans une prise
ou sur un circuit d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de
fuite à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur
réduit les risques de choc électrique.
3) SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
a) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve
de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique est utilisé. Ne
pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous
l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un
simple moment d’inattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut
entraîner des blessures corporelles graves.
b) Utiliser des équipements de protection individuelle.
Toujours porter une protection oculaire. L’utilisation
d’équipements de protection comme un masque antipoussière,
des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des
protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert réduira les
risques de blessures corporelles.

Français

c) Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas utilisé, le tenir éloigné
des objets métalliques, notamment des trombones, de
la monnaie, des clés, des clous, des vis ou autres petits
objets métalliques qui peuvent établir une connexion
entre les deux bornes. Le court-circuit des bornes du bloc-
piles risque de provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie.
d) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler hors
du bloc-piles; éviter tout contact avec ce liquide. Si un
contact accidentel se produit, laver à grande eau. Si le
liquide entre en contact avec les yeux, obtenir également
des soins médicaux. Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles
peut provoquer des irritations ou des brûlures.
6) RÉPARATION
a) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur
professionnel en n’utilisant que des pièces de rechange
identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation
sécuritaire de l’outil électrique.

accidentel de l’outil électrique.
d) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée des enfants
et ne permettre à aucune personne n’étant pas familière
avec un outil électrique ou son mode d’emploi d’utiliser
cet outil. Les outils électriques deviennent dangereux entre les
mains d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.
e) Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les pièces
mobiles sont mal alignées ou coincées, si des pièces sont
brisées ou présentent toute autre condition susceptible
de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En
cas de dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant
toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d’accidents sont
causés par des outils électriques mal entretenus.
f) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et propres.
Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et affûtés sont moins
susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à maîtriser.
g) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les forets,
etc. conformément aux présentes directives en tenant
compte des conditions de travail et du travail à effectuer.
L’utilisation d’un outil électrique pour toute opération autre que
celle pour laquelle il a été conçu est dangereuse.
5) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DU BLOC-PILES
a) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur précisé par
le fabricant. L’utilisation d’un chargeur qui convient à un type
de bloc-piles risque de provoquer un incendie s’il est utilisé
avec un autre type de b loc-piles.
b) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec les blocs-
piles conçus à cet effet. L’utilisation de tout autre bloc-piles
risque de causer des blessures ou un incendie.
