SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY

Operating a Cordless Drill can be dangerous if
safety and common sense are ignored. The

user must be familiar with the operation of the

tool. Read this manual to understand this
Cordless Drill. DO NOT operate this Cordless
Drill if you do not fully understand the limitations

of this tool. DO NOT modify this Cordless Drill in
any way.

BEFORE USING CORDLESS DRILL

To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool,
read and follow all of the Safety and Operating
Instructions before operating the Cordless Drill.

1. Some dust created by using power tools
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, cement, and
other masonry products.

• 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
lter out microscopic particles.

2. READ the entire Owner’s Manual. LEARN

how to use the tool for its intended applications.

3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is

supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged
into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The 3rd
prong is used to ground the tool and provide
protection against accidental electric shock. DO
NOT remove the 3rd prong.

4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING
ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use electrical tools in a

damp environment or expose them to rain.

5. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of

ammable liquids or gasses.

6. ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit,
and organized. DO NOT work in an environment
with oor surfaces that are slippery from debris,
grease, and wax.

7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY.
DO NOT permit people to be in the immediate

work area, especially when the electrical tool is

operating.

8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an

operation for which it was not designed. It will do
a safer and higher quality job by only performing
operations for which the tool was intended.

9. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. These
items can get caught in the machine during
operations and pull the operator into the

moving parts. The user must wear a protective

cover on their hair, if the hair is long, to prevent it

from contacting any moving parts.

10. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by

removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the
electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.

11. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE
ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE when making

adjustments, changing parts or performing any

maintenance.

12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE

AND IN WORKING ORDER.

13. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make
sure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position

before plugging in the power cord to the electrical

receptacle.

14. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS

from the immediate area prior to turning “ON” the

machine.

15. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED

ACCESSORIES. Use of incorrect or improper
accessories could cause serious injury to the
operator and cause damage to the tool. If in
doubt, check the instruction manual that comes

with that particular accessory.

16. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL

UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the
“OFF” position. DO NOT leave the tool until it has
come to a complete stop.

17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury

could result if the tool tips over, or you
accidentally contact the tool.

18. DO NOT store anything above or near the

tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool

to reach it.

19. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT

extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant
rubber soled shoes. Keep oor clear of debris,
grease, and wax.

20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always

keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep
all blades and tool bits sharp, dress grinding
wheels and change other abrasive accessories

when worn.

21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR

DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE
TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they

operate properly, are not damaged, and perform
their intended functions. Check for alignment,
binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be immediately
repaired or replaced.

22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED,

OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.

23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to

secure the work piece. This is safer than attempt­ing to hold the work piece with your hands.

24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE
DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL.

A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO
PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR
AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust,

crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust.
Direct particles away from face and body.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible.
Exposure to the dust may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and
death.
Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged
contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote

absorption of harmful material.

Always use properly tting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas
with soap and water.

26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN
GOOD CONDITION. When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the larger
diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the
proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter
and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power
and overheating.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD
THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG
AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT
ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.
