GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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

■ Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,

or dust. Power tools may create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

■ Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

■ 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 electrician 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.

■ 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.

■ Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

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

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alco-

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

■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew- elry. 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 off be-

fore plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have 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.

■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

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

■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

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

■ Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

■ Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.

Tool Use and Care

■ Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-

port 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 appli-

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

■ 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.

■ Disconnect the plug from power source before mak- ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-

ing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

■ Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other

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

■ 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 affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are 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 become hazardous when used on another tool.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Service

■ Tool service must be performed only by qualified re-

pair 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 electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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

wiring or its cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the cutting tool “live” and shock the operator.

Additional Safety Rules

■ Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care- fully. 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.

■ Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT

safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

■ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection dur-

ing extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

■ Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center.

Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

■ Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or

replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

■ Do not abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

■ 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 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier 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.

■ Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before

using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

■ Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medica-

tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL

Double Insulation

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.

Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

Electrical Connection

The drill has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only

(normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

Extension Cords

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.

Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, or loose particles being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

Drilling

See Figure 8.

1. Depress and release the switch trigger to be sure the drill is in the OFF position before connecting it to power supply.

2. Check the direction of rotation lever for correct setting

(forward or reverse).

3. Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.

4. Plug the drill into power supply source.

5. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.

6. Depress the switch trigger to start the drill. Do not lock the switch ON for jobs where the drill may need to be stopped suddenly.

7. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the drill and bit do the work.

WARNING:

Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.

When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started.

When drilling metals use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.

If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
