m. Do not grasp the tool or place your hands
too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit.
Your hand may be lacerated.
n. 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.
o. Do not use dull or damaged bits and acces-
sories. Dull or damaged bits have a greater
tendency to bind in the workpiece.
p. 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.
q. 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.
GFCI and personal protection devices like elec-
trician's rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power
supply. While the tool may appear to work, the
electrical components of the AC rated tool are
likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the
power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not
to disassemble any portion of the tool since
internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or
safety guard return springs may be improperly
mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gaso-
line, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

r. Do not run the tool while carrying it at your
side. A spinning drill bit could become entan-
gled with clothing and injury may result.
2. Safety instructions when using
long drill bits
a. Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if al-
lowed to rotate freely without contacting the
workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
b. 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.
c. 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.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities con-
tains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples 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, depend-
ing 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 ap-
proved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
