ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA
REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1
FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription
eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacementfor proper eye protection.
WARNING: Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury ifbroken
during operation of a power tool.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do notoperate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammableliquids, gas or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
!
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Doubleinsulated tools are equipped
with apolarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized plug only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug.Ifit still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install apolarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-
and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use the tool while
tired orunder the influence of drugs,
alcoholor medication.A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is OFF before plugging in.
Carrying tools with yourfinger on the switch
or plugging in tools that have the switch
turned ON invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
Do notoverreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.Properfooting
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
Make sure your extension cord is the
proper size. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table at right shows the
correct size to use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord isproperly
wired and ingood condition.Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your
power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15Atime delay fuse
or circuit breaker. Before connecting the
power tool to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the
power source is the same as indicated on
the nameplate. Running at lower voltage
will damage the motor.
WARNING: Repair or replace
damaged or worn extension cords
immediately.
Select the appropriate extension cord
gaugeand length using the chart below.

Have you read “POWER TOOL
SAFETY”, “SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES”, “EXTENSION CORD
GUIDELINES” and “SYMBOLS” on
pages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 of this Manual?
If not, please do so before you
operate this drill. Your safety
depends on it!
Every time you use the drill you
should verify the following:
1. Chuck is tight.
2. Workpiece is properly secured.
3. Safety glasses are being worn.
Failure to adhere to these safety
rules can greatly increase the
chances of injury.
WARNING
!
Fig. 4

DRILLING – cont’d
The workpiece to be drilled should be
secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it
from turning as the drill bit rotates
(see Fig. 6).
1. Check drill bit to make sure it is firmly
locked into the drill chuck and the
forward/reverse switch is in the forward
position.
2. Hold the drill firmly with both hands
whenever possible. Use one hand to
grasp the handle and switch and the
other to grasp the body of the drill.
NOTE: Make sure the hand placed on
the body of the drill does not cover the
air vents. Covering these air vents will
reduce the motor cooling and possibly
lead to overheating the motor.
3. While holding the drill firmly, place the
point of the drill bit at the point to be
drilled. Depress the switch triggerto
start the drill.
NOTE: Always use a higher drill speed
when drilling small holes. Use a slower
drill speed when drilling large holes.
4. Move the drill bit into the workpiece
applying only enough pressure to keep
the bit cutting. Do not force the drill bit
or apply sideways pressure to elongate
the hole.
WARNING: Be prepared for
binding and bitbreakthrough. When
these situations occur, the drill bithas a
tendency to grab the workpiece. This
action will kick the drill opposite to the
direction of drill bit rotation and could
cause loss of control when breaking
through material as you complete
drilling the hole. If you are notprepared,
thisloss of control can result in serious
injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the
drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil
will prolong the life of the drill bit and
improve the drill cutting action.If the bit
jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls,
release the trigger switch immediately.
Remove the bit from the workpiece and
determine the reason for jamming.
