POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4.
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.
5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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.
8. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
9. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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.
4. 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.
SERVICE
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING:Know your cordless drill. DO NOT plug in the charger or install
the battery in the tool until you have read and understand this Instruction Manual. Learn
the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to
this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
WARNING:Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign
objects into your eyes and cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles
(not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING:Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could
cause serious injury when they break.
WARNING:Always use a safety shield, hearing protection and dust mask
when drilling concrete.
WARNING:To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline, naphtha, and
acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the tool.
Use only accessories that are recommended for this cordless drill. Follow the instructions
that accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may result in injury to
the operator or damage to the tool.
If any part is missing or damaged, DO NOT plug the tool into the power source or install
any accessory until the missing or damaged part is replaced. DO NOT drill material too
small to be securely held.
1. Always keep hands out of the path of the drill bit. Avoid awkward hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the path of the drill bit.
2. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
3. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be drilled.
