Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. 1. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-2.
ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.

Electrical Safety
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, 1.
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 2. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Charger’s power cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry 3.
the Charger or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords im-
mediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-1.
ing a power tool. Do not use a power 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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. 2.
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 the Rotation Button (6) is in the locked 3.
position before inserting the Battery. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the trigger, or inserting the Battery with the trigger depressed, invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 4. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 5. Dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles when working with this tool.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the 1.
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 the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. 2. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the power tool if the trigger does not operate it. 3. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the trigger is dangerous and must be replaced.

ter, locked position, before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. 5. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain the Cordless Drill/Driver with care. Keep drill bits sharp and clean.6.
Properly maintained accessories with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool or accessory. Tag damaged
tools “Do not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any 7.
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 8.
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

12. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) 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
or other masonry products, 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 dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code §
25249.5, et seq.)
13. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before
using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
