GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA

n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

n 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.

n Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

n 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 wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

n 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.

n Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

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

n 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

n 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.

n 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.

eliminates the need for the three-

Av oid ac ciden tal st arting . Be sure sw itch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the

switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

n 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.

n Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

n Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long

hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn

into air vents.

n Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

n 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.

n Do not force 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.

n Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

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

n Disconnect the plug from power source before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the tool accidentally.

n Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other

untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-

ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean the tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

SERVICE

n Tool service must be performed only by qualified re-

pair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by

unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

n Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per-

forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a

“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the cutting tool “live” and shock the operator.

n Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-

fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

n Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses

have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of serious personal injury.

n Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of serious personal injury.

n Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

n Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have

repaired at your nearest authorized service center. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

n Check damaged parts. Before further use of the

tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should

n 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.

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

n Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An

undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

n Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before

using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

serious personal injury.

n Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and

use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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.

ELECTRICAL

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

OPERATION

TWO-SPEED SETTINGS

See Figure 7.

The drill features a High or Low speed selector. Select the desired speed by turning the selector to either 1 (Low) or 2 (High).

The following guidelines may be used in determining correct speed for various applications.

n Low speed may be used for driving screws or drilling.

n High speed may be used for drilling.

DRILLING

See Figure 8.

Depress and release the switch trigger to be sure the drill is

in the OFF position before connecting it to power supply.

n Check the direction of rotation selector for correct setting

(forward or reverse).

n Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps

to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.

n Plug the drill into power supply source.

n Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be

drilled.

n Depress the switch trigger to start the drill. Do not lock

the switch ON for jobs where the drill may need to be stopped suddenly.

n Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough

pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the drill and bit do the work.

Fig. 7

WARNING:

Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.

When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started.

When drilling metals use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.

If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
