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 atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools 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

• 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.

• Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.

• Use battery only with charger listed.

MODEL BATTERY PACK CHARGER

315.114610 Item No. 911378 Item NO.911379
(1323520) (1426101)

• DO not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry

the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

Personal Safety

• 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 inatten-

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 toot 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.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

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

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

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

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 toot 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. A

toot that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous 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 measures reduce the

risk of starting the toot 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.

3

• 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 create a risk of injurywhen

used on another tool.

• Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free

from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when

cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-

ment 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 also 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.

• Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule wilt

reduce the risk of eye injury.

Important Rules for Battery Tools

• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an

electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire

or heat. This wilt reduce the risk of explosion and

possibly injury.

• Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.

• Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-

tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric

shock.

• For best results, your battery tool should be charged

in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F
but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in

vehicles.

• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap
and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or
vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

drill. It can be used to keep drill bit level during drilling
operations.

Fig. 11

Fig. 12

When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to

mark desired hole location. This wilt prevent the drill bit
from slipping off center as the hole is started. However,
the low speed feature allows starting holes without center

punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate
your drill at a low speed until the hole is started.

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

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

Depress the switch trigger to start toot.

Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough

pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side

pressure to elongate a hole.

_1 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 metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep

it from overheating. The oil wilt prolong the life of the bit

and increase the drilling action.

If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release

switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
