GENERAL SAFETY RULES

(For All Tools)

USA002-2

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

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 which 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.

Electrical Safety

4.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-

trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

5.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

6.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools 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 electric shock.

8.

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”

or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

9.

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

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

10. 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.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch

is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches

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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.

Tool Use and Care

15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for

your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it

on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

18. 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.

19. Store idle tools out of reach of children

and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. 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.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-

viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

3

22. 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.

SERVICE tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

24. 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 electric shock or injury.

23. Tool service must be performed only by

qualified repair personnel. Service or main-

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

USB002-2

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to hammer drill safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1.

Hold 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.

3.

Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

Always use the side grip.

4.

Keep hands away from rotating parts.

5.

Do not leave the tool running.

Operate the tool only when hand-held.

2.

Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.

6.

Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

7.

Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inhalation and skin contact.

Follow material supplier safety data.

Depth gauge

The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uniform depth. Loosen the clamp screw and adjust the depth gauge to the desired depth. After adjusting, tighten the clamp screw.

002446

Hammer drilling operation

CAUTION:

• There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-through, when the hole becomes clogged with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.

When drilling in concrete, granite, tile, etc., turn the action mode changing knob to the position of symbol to use

“rotation with hammering” action.

Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.

Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away from the hole.

Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.

002449

Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole.

Drilling operation

CAUTION:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar holddown device.

When drilling in wood, metal or plastic materials, turn the action mode changing knob to the position of symbol to use “rotation only” action.

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.
