SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A WARNING: Be sure to read and understand all Instructions in this manual

before using the drill. Failure to follow all Instructions may result in hazardous

radiation exposure, electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

A WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have thoroughly

read all Instructions, safety rules, and warnings. Failure to comply with them can
result in fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury. Save the manual and refer
to it frequently.

GENERAL SAETY PRECAUTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions 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. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• 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. The following table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of the tool.

17217 ManuaLRevised_09-0708 Page 4

When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed
extension cords.

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 inattention 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 off before 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, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.

• Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.),
be sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate
of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the

tool can result in serious injury to the user - as well as damage to the tool.

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

17217 ManuaLRevised_09-0708 Page 5

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 more safely at the rate for which is designed.

• Do not use tool if the 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 the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the 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.

• 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 tools 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.

• Do not alter or misuse tool. These tools are precision built. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.

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.
