reaction torque. The drill body will tend to
twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit
is rotating.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands
too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit.
Your hand may be lacerated.
Do not use the switch "Lock-ON" feature
in situations where drill bit binding is
likely. (For example: just before the bit is
ready to break through the material,
anytime when using a "Hole Saw", auger
bits........ etc.) When the bit binds, the drill's
body will twist or kick-back in opposite
direction and the release of the trigger
"Lock-ON" may be difficult.
Be aware of the location and setting of
the switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch
is locked "ON" during the use, be ready for
emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by
first pulling the trigger then immediately
releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON"
button.
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank
of the bit well within the jaws of the
chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep
enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is
reduced and the loss of control is increased.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
When removing the bit from the tool avoid
contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit
or accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Check to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the drill
before switching the tool "ON". Keys or

wrenches can fly away at high velocity
striking you or a bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at
your side. A spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may
result.
This tool may be used with sanding and
polishing disks, grinding wheels, wire
wheel and wire cup brushes. These
accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label.
Wheels and other accessories
running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheels,
discs or brushes especially when working
corners, sharp edges, etc. This can cause
loss of control and kickback.
