WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and 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 that may ignite the dust or
fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
4. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. Such
preventive measures reduce the risk of injury.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Electrical tools must be plugged into properly installed
outlets. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly installed.
2. Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is increased risk
of an electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
4. Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool 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 electrical
shock.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
6. Connect the tool to an AC power supply that matches the
name plate specifications. Incorrect voltage supply can
cause electrical shock or burns.
7. Use proper extension cords (see chart). Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop, loss of power
and overheating.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tions. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging tools in that have the switch ON invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool
ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust
mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your applica-
tion. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it is designed.
2. Do not use any tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF.
Any tool that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained persons.
5. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
7. Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer of your model. Accessories that are suitable
for one tool may become hazardous when used on another
tool.
8. Inspect tool and extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical
shock.
9. Keep handles dry and clean, free from oil and grease.
Clean handles allow better control of the tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
repair personnel could result in injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electrical shock
or injury.
3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accesso-
ries. Accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

instructions for your protection against serious injuries including:
•Loss of fingers, hands, arms or other body parts if clothing or

Read and follow the safety labels on the
machine.
Know the location and functions of all controls before using the
tool.
Switch Safety
The MOMENTARY CONTACT SWITCH is for your safety. It lets
you shut off the motor by removing your finger. If clothing should
become caught in the tool, it will continue to wind up. Because this
tool has high torque, the clothing itself can bind around your arm
or other body parts with enough force to crush or break bones.
WARNING
WARNING: CLOTHING/GLOVES CAN BE CAUGHT IN
MOVING PARTS. FINGERS, HANDS, ARMS
OR OTHER BODY PARTS CAN BE
CRUSHED OR BROKEN.
• Do not wear gloves.
• Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned.
• Keep switch in working order.
• Do not carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch.
TOOL SAFETY
1.The POWER DRIVE is made to provide power for drilling
and tapping machines. Follow instructions in this
Operator’s Manual on tool use. Other uses may increase the
risk of injury.
2. Do not use dull or damaged drills and taps. Sharp cutting
tools are less likely to bind and tool is easier to control
3. Do not use if MOMENTARY CONTACT SWITCH is broken.
The purpose of the switch is to prevent injuries.
4. Use both hands and maintain proper footing and balance
when operating. This tool provides a high amount of torque.
