aa. Do not drill into metal with the dust
extraction system mounted. Hot metal
chips can self-ignite or ignite parts of the
dust extraction system.
ab. Do not drill into wood with dust extrac-
tion system mounted. Wood chips are
typically too large and will clog the dust
channel.
ac. Your tool is equipped with a dust can-
ister, empty it frequently, after comple-
tion of drilling and before storing the
tool. Be extremely careful of dust dispos-
al, materials in fine particle form may be
explosive.
ad. Note: Do not use the dust extraction
system when chiselling, screwdriving or
cutting threads.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician'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 care-
ful 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 clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetra-
chloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic
parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off position be-
fore inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

2. Safety instructions when using
long drill bits with rotary hammers
a. Always start drilling at low speed and
with the bit tip in contact with the work-
piece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely
to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in per-
sonal injury.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction ac-
tivities contains chemicals known 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 as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
