damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
w ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
x ) 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.
y ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery Tool Use and Care
z ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
aa ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
ab ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
ac ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
ad ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
ae ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.
af ) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
Service
ag ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
ah ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Additional Safety Rules for Drills
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause
•
personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
•
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
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.
Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
•
Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to fly.
Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
•
grease. This will enable better control of the tool.
Safety Instructions When Using Long
Drill Bits
• Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit
is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip
in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the
bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Additional Safety Information


WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities 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 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
