IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE!

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

1.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

2.

A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack

must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

3.

Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack.

Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

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

984-987 - manual - 905273- 04-08-03.qxd 4/8/03 9:40 AM Page 3

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 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.

4.

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.

5.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

7.

Use certified safety equipment. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing equipment should comply with ANSI

S3.19 standards, and dust mask protection should comply with MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

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.

4.

Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the locked or

OFF position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

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

5.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6.

that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

7.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

8.

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.

9.

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

1.

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Before using your cordless tool for the first time, the battery pack should be fully charged. If the battery pack is installed, remove it by following instructions under “INSTALLING OR REMOVING BATTERY PACK”.

NORMAL CHARGING

Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the charger specification plate. Connect the charger to the power source. The red and green lights will flash once to indicate that the power is connected properly and the charger is ready for operation.

Position the battery pack on charger, align the rails on the battery pack (A) Fig.

2 with the four tabs (C) Fig. 1 on the charger. Slide the battery forward on charger until it stops.

The green light (A) Fig. 1 should begin to flash rapidly indicating that the battery pack is receiving a “fast charge”. (If the green light does not flash or if the red light (B) illuminates, see DIAGNOSTICS”). After approximately one hour, the “Fast Charge” indicator light should glow continually, indicating that the battery pack is fully charged and that the charger is now in a

“Maintenance Charge” mode. The battery pack can be left on “Maintenance

Charge” until you are ready to use it.

Depending on room temperature, line voltage, and existing charge level, initial battery charging may take longer than one hour.

Disconnect the charger from the power source when not in use.

984-987 - manual - 905273- 04-08-03.qxd 4/8/03 9:40 AM Page 8

BATTERY OPERATION

DIAGNOSTICS

The Model 8924 Charger is equipped with a diagnostic system that automatically checks the battery pack each time a pack is inserted into the charger. If no problems are found, the charger will automatically switch to

“Fast Charge” mode as described in NORMAL CHARGING.

If a problem is found, it will be indicated by the charger indicator lights, as follows: l Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the charger specification plate. Connect charger to power source. The red and green lights will flash once to indicate that power is connected properly and the charger is ready for operation.

l If the green light flashes slowly after battery pack is inserted in charger, the battery pack temperature is either too high or too low for charging. If left alone, the charger will continue to monitor the battery pack temperature and will begin charging when the temperature reaches an acceptable level.

l If the red light flashes continuously, the battery pack has failed (pack is not chargeable and requires replacement).

As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp drop in tool performance. When the tool is unable to perform the task at hand, it is time to recharge the battery pack. Recharging the battery pack before this condition is reached will reduce the total work life of the pack.

Discharging the pack beyond this point can damage the pack.

NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after use.

Batteries may not accept a full charge if they are charged immediately after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before charging for best results.

The battery charger may rest on the four pads provided on the bottom of the case or be mounted on a wall by utilizing the two key hole slots provided.

Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must not be obstructed. Do not charge battery when temperature is

BELOW 40°F(4.4°C) or ABOVE 104°F (40°C).

GENERAL DRILLING

1.

Set torque adjusting collar for drilling operation and set speed selector to appropriate speed.

2.

Be sure drill bit is securely gripped in chuck.

3.

Set REVERSING BUTTON for clockwise rotation.

Make sure work is held securely in vise or clamped in place prior to starting drilling operation. Loose work may spin and cause bodily injury.

4.

Locate exact center for hole to be drilled and using a center punch, make a small dent in work.

5.

Place tip of drill bit in dent made by center punch, hold drill square with work, and start the motor.

Applying too much pressure may cause the bit to overheat or break resulting in bodily injury or damaged drill bits. Apply steady, even pressure to keep drill bit cutting. Too little pressure will keep the bit from cutting and dull the cutting edges due to excessive friction created by sliding over the surface.

Always be alert and brace yourself against the twisting action of the drill.

6.

If drill stalls or becomes jammed in the hole, release trigger immediately.

Remove drill bit from work and determine cause of stalling or jamming.

DO NOT SQUEEZE TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO FREE A

STALLED OR JAMMED DRILL – THIS WILL DAMAGE THE MOTOR. The direction of rotation may be reversed to help free a jammed bit. Be sure direction of rotation is RESET before attempting to continue drilling.

7.

Reduce the pressure on the drill just before the bit cuts through the work to avoid splintering wood or stalling in metal.

8.

When bit has completely penetrated work and is spinning freely, withdraw it from the work while the motor is still running, then turn off drill.

DRILLING WOOD

In addition to the instructions listed under “GENERAL DRlLLlNG”, the following also apply:

1.

When using twist drills in wood, withdraw drills from the hole frequently to clear chips built up in flutes to avoid overheating and burning work.

2.

When using a backing block to keep back of work from splintering, clamp it securely in place. If a backing block is not used with spade bits or hole saws, ease up pressure as soon as bit point breaks through work, and complete the hole from the opposite side.

DRILLING METAL

In addition to the instructions listed under “GENERAL DRlLLlNG”, the following also apply:

1.

Use only good quality, sharp, high speed steel twist bits when drilling metal.

12

984-987 - manual - 905273- 04-08-03.qxd 4/8/03 9:41 AM Page 13

2.

Start drilling with slow speed and gradually increase speed as drill cuts.

The harder the material, the slower the speed required. The softer the material, the faster the speed.

3.

When drilling a large hole, first drill a smaller hole and then enlarge it to the required size.

4.

The use of a lubricant, such as oil, on the drill point helps keep the bit cool, increases drilling action, and prolongs drill bit life.
