tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• 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.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery

pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on, invites accidents.

• 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.

• De net overreach.

Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times, Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

2

Tool Use and Care

• 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.

• 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 whicl_it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

A tool that cannot he controlle_ with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety mepsures reduce risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other

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

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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

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.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving

_parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affec_ the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents a_e caused by:poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by qualified

repair personnel. Service or; maintenance performed

by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

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 shock or injury.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden

wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

Additional Rules For Safe Operation

Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully.

Learn its 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.

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. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the nextheavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

BA'R'ERIES

Your drill's battery pack is equipped with 12 nickelcadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide max{mum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they

will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

•

•

•

Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.

Temperatures above normal room temperature will shorten battery life.

Never store batteries in a discharged condition.

Recharge them immediately after they are discharged.

All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.

This practice will prolong battery life.

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of batteries properly.

This product contains nickel-cadmium batteries. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium batteries in ordinary trash.
