will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:
This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
may contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
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 exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
When servicing a power tool, use only identical replace-
ment 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.
fully 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.
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.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service
center to avoid risk.
