GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 “power tool” in this instruction refers to your 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.

Drilling operation
First, slide the fastening torque to the position of symbol.
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a
guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the
workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a
center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the
indentation and start drilling. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION:
a) Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this
excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the
tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
b) There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break
through. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through
the workpiece.
c) A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse
rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do
not hold it firmly.
d) Always secure small workpiece in a vise or similar hold down device.
e) If the tool is operated continuously until the battery pack has discharged, allow
the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
