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) 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.

Additional Speciﬁ c Safety Instructions

• 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 or its own cord. Cutting accessory

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

• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can

cause hearing loss.

• 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.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This will enable better control of the tool.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Bail Handle (Fig. 4)

EWALT repair center.

A bail handle is provided for carrying the tool and for use as an additional handle. Assemble the bail handle in one of the positions shown in Figure 4. When changing the location of the bail handle from one position to the other, completely remove the two bail handle bolts (E) securing it. Flip the handle over and reinstall.

FIG. 4

Side Handle (Fig. 5)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always operate the tool with the side handle properly installed and tightened. Failure to do so may result in the side handle slipping during tool operation and subsequent loss of control. Hold tool with both hands to maximize control.

The two position side handle (I) can be assembled into either side of tool. Thread the side handle (I) into the bail handle bolt (E) or directly into threaded holes (J) on desired side. Tighten securely by hand.

FIG. 5

Speed Selector (Fig. 1)

NOTICE: Risk of tool damage. Do not rotate the speed selector lever while the drill is running or coasting, damage may occur to the tool.

Rotate the speed selector lever (B) to the desired speed:

1 = low speed (330 RPM) 2 = high speed (1300 RPM)

NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing speeds, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)

Depressing the trigger switch (D) turns the tool on, releasing the trigger switch turns the tool off.

VARIABLE SPEED

A variable speed trigger switch permits speed control—the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.

NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal, plastics or ceramics. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition boards.

Forward/Reverse Button (Fig. 1)

A forward/reverse button (C) determines the direction of the tool. It is located in front of the trigger switch.

To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch (D) and depress the forward/reverse button on the right side of the tool.

To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse button on the left side of the tool. When changing the position of the button, be sure the trigger is released.

NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

OPERATION

The bit rotates clockwise when the tool is in the forward position and counterclockwise when the tool is in the reverse position. If the bit binds, the tool will slow to a manageable level. Using proper hand position, brace the side handle (I) or tool body against a stud for better support (Fig. 3).

English

Drilling

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS

ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material.

1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use steel twist drill bits

English

or hole saws.

2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

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

4. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT

CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole.

6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.

7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out.

DRILLING IN METAL

Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

NOTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)] is drilled first.

DRILLING IN WOOD

Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.

Chuck Key Holder (Fig. 6, 7, 8)

1. Push double-hole end of holder through the slot in other end of holder (Fig. 6).

2. Slip loop over electric plug and draw loop tight around cord (Fig. 7).

3. Push ends of chuck key handle (long end first) through two holes in end of holder (Fig. 8).
