serviced prior to reuse.
• Always keep the tool and accessories tethered when
working "at height". (Maximum lanyard length: 2 m.)
• Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool type
and rated for at least the weight identified on the tool
lanyard attachment point label.
• Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do not use near
moving parts, mechanisms or running machinery.
• Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your
body. Anchor to a rigid structure that can withstand
the forces of a dropped tool.

manner other than as instructed in this manual.
• Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking carabiner.
Do not attach by looping or knotting the lanyard. Do
not use rope or cord.
• Electrical shock hazard. Be sure power is off when
working in high voltage areas. Some lanyards
are conductive.
• Dropped tools will swing on the lanyard, which could
cause injury or loss of balance.
• Do not carry the tool by the attachment point, the
battery strap or the lanyard.
• Do not attach more than one tool to each lanyard.
• Only use appropriate D
e
attachment kit. NEVER modify tools to create
attachment points.
• Only transfer the tool between hands while properly
balanced in a stable orientation.
• Do not attach lanyards to tool in a way that keeps
guards, switches or lock-offs from operating properly.
• Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
• Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool.
• Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get
additional leverage from the tool.
• Do not use for personal fall protection.
• Falling object hazard! Only change batteries,
accesories and attachments where a dropped object
won't cause a hazard below you.
• Do not use the charger or contractor bag and/or kit
box at height.
• Use multi-action or screw gate type carabiners. Do not
use single action spring clip carabiners.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS
operate the tool with the side handle properly installed.
Failure to do so may result in the side handle slipping
during tool operation and subsequent loss of control. Hold
tool with both hands to maximize control.

be rotated 360˚ to permit right‑ or left‑hand use.
The side handle clamps to the collar
locations. The side handle can be tightened by rotating the
grip of the side handle clockwise. The side handle must be
tightened sufficiently to resist the twisting action of the tool if
the accessory bind or stall. Be sure you moved the side handle
against the end of the collar end to have the clamping piece
fully engaged.
To Adjust the Depth Rod (Fig. A)
Loosen the side handle 1 and move the depth rod
the distance between the end of the rod and the end of the bit
equals the desired drilling depth. When drilling with depth rod,
stop when end of rod reaches surface of material.
Utility Hook (Fig. D)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ONLY use the tool's ultilty hook to hang the
tool from a work belt. DO NOT use the ultilty hook
for tethering or securing the tool to a person or
object during use. DO NOT suspend tool overhead or
suspend objects from the ultilty hook.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ensure the screw holding the ultilty hook
is secure.
IMPORTanT: When attaching or replacing the ultilty hook
use only the screw that is provided. Be sure to securely

tighten the screw.
The ultilty hook can be be attached to either side of the tool
using only the screw provided, to accommodate left‑ or right‑
handed users. If the hook is not desired at all, it can be removed
from the tool.
To move ultilty hook, remove the screw that holds the ultilty
hook in place then reassemble on the opposite side. Be sure to
