Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must
be used under applicable conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical method to
secure and support the workpiece on a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand

or against your body is unsafe and may
lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The correct tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it is designed.

Do not use the 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 cutting 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 become
hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

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

maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in 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 electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

WARNING: For your safety, do not
plug in your charger or install the
battery in the tool until you have
carefully read and understood this
Owner’s Manual.

 Wear eye protection. Use face or

dust mask along with safety goggles if
operation is dusty. Use hearing
protection, particularly during extended
periods of operation.

 Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose

clothing.

 Do not drill, cut, or sand material too

small to be securely held.

 Always keep hands out of the path of

the drill bit and saw blade. Avoid
awkward hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the path of the drill bit or
saw blade.

POWER TOOL SAFETY

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES – cont’d

 Secure workpiece. Use clamps or a

vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.

 Make sure there are no nails or

foreign objects in the part of the
workpiece to be cut, drilled or sanded.

 To avoid injury from accidental

starting, always remove the battery
from the tool before installing or
removing a drill bit, saw blade,
sandpaper, accessory or attachment.

 Do not install or use any drill bit that

exceeds 7” (175 mm) in length or
extends more than 6” (150 mm)
beyond the chuck jaws. They can bend
or break suddenly.

 Before starting the operation, jog the

drill switch to make sure the drill bit
does not wobble or vibrate.

 Do not use fly cutters or multiple-part

hole cutters, as they can come apart or
become unbalanced in use.

 Make sure the spindle has come to a

complete stop before touching the
chuck or attempting to change the drill
bit.

 Always make sure the chuck is tight

and the drill bit firmly tightened in
the chuck before starting drill.

 Do not store or carry battery in a

manner in which metal objects
could contact the exposed metal
end. Do not place battery in aprons,

pockets, drawers, etc. with loose nails,
screws, keys etc. The battery could
short circuit causing a fire, personal
injury or damage to the battery.

 Never attempt to open the battery

for any reason. If the housing of the

battery breaks or cracks, immediately
discontinue use and do not recharge.

 Do not charge the battery if it is wet

or shows any evidence of corrosion.

 A small leakage from the battery may

occur under extreme usage, charging
or temperature conditions. This does
not indicate a failure. If however, the

outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin, follow
these steps:

1. Wash immediately with soap and
water.

2. Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.

3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush

immediately with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
NOTE: The battery liquid is a 20–
35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.

 Do not incinerate the battery. It can

explode in a fire.

 Do not use an extension cord. Plug

the charger cord directly into an
electrical outlet.

the battery or work area is between
10–40°C (50–105°F).

 Unplug the charger when not in use

and before cleaning or maintenance.

 Do not abuse the cord. To reduce the

risk of damage to the electric cord or
plug, never carry the charger by the
cord or yank the cord to pull the plug.
Always grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect. Always keep the cord
