eye and hearing protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and/or
hearing protection must be used for ap-
propriate conditions. Prolonged expo-
sure to loud noise can cause impair-
ment or loss of hearing. Wear suitable
hearing protection devices such as ear-
muffs or earplugs.

Safety depends on you.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Only qualified persons should operate
the machine. Make sure you operate
and service your machine according to
the instructions listed in this manual.
2. When positioning the machine for drill-
ing, always face the drill. DO NOT op-
erate with your back to the machine.
Facing the machine during positioning
allows the operator to have better con-
trol of the machine.
3. DO NOT force the machine. Use the
correct machine for your application.
The correct machine will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
4. DO NOT use the machine if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any machine
that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
5. Disconnect the machine from the pow-
er source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories or storing
the machine. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the machine accidentally.
6. Store machines out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Machines
are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
7. Maintain machines with care and keep
them clean. Properly maintained ma-
chines are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
8. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
machines operation. If damaged, have
the machine serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
9. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suita-
ble for one machine may become haz-
ardous when used on another.
SERVICE
1. DO NOT run the drill unit while you
make adjustments and repairs unless
the procedure is approved.
2. Escaping fluid and air under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate
skin causing serious personal injury.
3. Before disconnecting lines, be sure to
relieve all pressure. Before applying
pressure to the system, be sure all
connections are tight and that lines,
tubes and hoses are not damaged.
4. DO NOT use your hand to search for
leaks. Instead, use a piece of card-
board or wood.
5. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in injury or
death.
6. When servicing a tool, use only identi-
cal replacement parts. Use of unau-
thorized parts increase injury risk.
