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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
Power tool use and care
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
8
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specic safety rules
WARNING: Know your drill. Do not plug the drill into the power source until you
have read and understand this Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations,
as well as the specic potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, re, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause
permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause
serious injury when they break.
WARNING: Always use a safety shield, hearing protection and dust mask when
drilling concrete.
Do not drill material too small to be securely held.
Always keep your hands out of the path of the drill bit. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause your hand to move into the path of the drill bit.
Secure the 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 drilled.
