General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

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

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

English

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

English

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before connecting to power source and/ or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the

power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do

not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) 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 burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise

can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of

control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• 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.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.

• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Keep a

firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate

this tool without holding it with both hands. Operating this

tool with one hand will result in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well.

• Accessories and tool may get hot during operation.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses

are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains 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 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.

English

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

PROBLEM POWERLINE

Charge Indicators

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the battery pack tested at an authorized service center.

HOT/COLD DELAY

This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the hot/cold delay mode.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing Pack Charged.

English

WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected to perform as much work.

FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger. PROBLEM POWER LINE

English

Some chargers have a problem powerline indicator. When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery

pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch

while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm

battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other

appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which

turns power off when you turn out the lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the

surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F – 75 °F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and

charger to your local service center.

5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.

6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.

7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the

charger. Electric shock may result.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in

any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal results.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. 9)

NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged. To install the battery pack (I) into the tool handle, align the battery pack

with the rails inside the tool’s handle and slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage.

To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release button (J) and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger section of this manual.

FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 10)

Some D three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack.

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button (N). A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.

NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-user application.

EWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of

Drilling (Fig. 3)

NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material.

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to

match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Set the mode control collar to the drill symbol.

2. Use sharp drill bits only. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,

cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling.

3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough

pressure to keep the drill bit biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of

the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack.

WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.

5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded.

RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL – THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce

pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole.

7. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled

hole. This will help prevent jamming.

Screwdriving (Fig. 4)

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the three-speed gear shifter (G) on the top of the tool to match the speed and torque to the planned application. Initially set the torque adjustment collar (E) at a lower setting to ensure the fastener is set to your specification.

NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to seat the fastener

at the desired depth. The lower the number, the lower the torque output.

2. Rotate the mode control collar (F) so the screw symbol is aligned with the arrow.

3. Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen areas of the workpiece to determine the proper position of the torque adjustment collar. Reset the torque adjustment collar (E) to the appropriate number setting for the torque desired.

4. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener.

NOTE: The torque adjustment collar may be set to any number at any time. However, the torque adjustment collar is only engaged during screwdriving mode and not in drill and hammerdrill modes.

Hammerdrilling (Fig. 5)

1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Set the mode control collar to the hammer symbol.

IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry bits rated for

percussion drilling only.

2. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate.

3. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.

English

4. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool still running to help clear debris from the hole.

NOTE: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates proper drilling rate.
