• Keep the area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas can cause accidents.
• Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and people away during the use of the tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control of the tool.
WORKPLACE SECURITY
1. It is necessary that the power tool plugs are adapted to the base. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use adapters with earthed tools. Unmodified plugs and adapted bases
reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid contact with grounded objects such as pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is in contact with grounded surfaces.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. The penetration of water into a tool
increases the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not misuse the cable. Do not use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using a
cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If it is necessary to use the tool in a location with moisture, use a secure supply with residual
current device (RCD). The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Be aware of what you are doing and use common sense while using the tool. Do not use a
tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
distraction while using a tool can cause serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, helmets or ear protection used in appropriate conditions will reduce
the risk of injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the switch is in the off position before plugging in to
power or battery, collect or transport. Carrying tools with your finger on the trigger or plugging
the tool in with the trigger pulled can cause accidents and injury.
• Remove any adjusting key before turning the tool on. A key left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
WARNING. READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
BEFORE OPERATING THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.

operators.
• Make sure the tools moving parts are not aligned or blocked, that it has not broken any parts
or any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool. In case of damage, take the
tool to a repair service before using it again. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Tools used for cutting, with sharp pieces that have had good maintenance, are less likely to
become blocked and are easier to control.
• Use the tool, accessories and blades, etc. according to these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be done. The use of the tool for operations
other than those provided can lead to dangerous situations.
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TOOL
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Do not rush. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. This allows better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If devices for connecting equipment for extraction and dust collection are supplied, make sure
they are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce risks due to dust.

OPERATION
OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH
WARNING: Never tape the trigger
switch down to provide continuous
high speed. The tool may fail under
such conditions causing fire or
personal injury.
Squeeze the trigger switch to turn the
tool “ON”. Release the trigger switch
to turn the tool “OFF”. The amount of
pressure put on the trigger will vary
the speed of the drill. Fully pressing
the trigger will increase the rpms to
maximum.
When drilling for extended periods, the
“Lock-On” switch may be used, but do
not use this switch in situations where
the drill is likely to bind or kickback.
If kickback does occur, the sudden
motion of the tool may make it difcult
to release the “Lock-On” switch and
turn the drill off.
REVERSING SWITCH LEVER
NOTICE: Be sure the trigger is
released when changing the position of
the lever. Always check the direction of
the Drill’s rotation before use.
The reversing switch lever reverses the
rotation of the drill bit. It is located just
above the trigger switch. ALWAYS turn
the motor off and let the bit come to a
complete stop before moving the switch.
Move the switch to the right for a forward
rotation of the bit. Move the switch to the
left to put the bit into reverse.
CAUTION: Do not change the
direction of a moving bit. Make sure
the bit comes to a complete standstill
before moving switch. Changing
direction while the bit is moving can
cause damage to the drill.
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
BIT INSERTION
• Unplug the drill. Never change bits on
a live drill.
• Make sure the bit is undamaged,
sharp and free from wood or metal
shavings. Foreign material on the bit
may keep the chuck from tightening
fully. A loose bit may cause injury.
• Push the bit into the chuck as far as
it will go.
• Make sure the bit is in the center of
the chuck. If the bit is off-center, it
will not be held securely and may fly
loose during use causing
serious injury.
• Rotate the keyless chuck clockwise
until tight while holding the chuck grip
to lock the bit in place.
BIT REMOVAL
• Unplug the drill.
• Rotate the keyless chuck
counterclockwise while holding the
chuck grip to unlock the bit.
• Remove the bit
WARNING: In certain situations, the
bit may bind and the drill will kickback
in the opposite direction. This sudden
reaction could lead to loss of control
and possible serious injury. Always be
prepared for the possibility of kickback,
especially when breaking through
material to complete a hole.
DRILLING METAL
Use an even pressure, hard enough
to keep the drill biting, but not so
hard that the bit spins in the hole.
Spinning the bit will dull it quickly. Soft
metals like copper, cast iron, brass
or aluminum will take less pressure
than harder materials like steel. When
drilling harder metals, use lubricating
oil on the tip of the bit.
WARNING: Always unplug the tool before changing accessories.

OPERATION
SYMBOLS
DRILLING MASONRY
NOTICE: Always use carbide tip bits
for drilling masonry.
Use an even pressure, hard enough
to keep the drill biting, but not so hard
that the bit spins in the hole. Spinning
the bit will dull it quickly. Bricks and
similar soft materials will take less
pressure than a hard material
like concrete.
DRILLING WOOD
WARNING: Always clamp the work
piece to a steady base. Never hold in
your hand or across your legs.
Apply pressure in line with the bit.
Applying pressure at an angle could
cause the bit to bind or break. Thin
materials that may splinter should
be drilled with another piece of wood
placed underneath. Twist bits can
be used for wood drilling but will
overheat if the flutes are not cleared
of wood chips periodically. To prevent
splintering when finishing holes, stop
drilling just before the hole breaks
through and complete the hole from
the other side.

ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.
If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to
carry the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may
experience a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord (see table below).
