INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres,
such as in the presence
of
flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children
and bystanders
away while operating
a power
tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control
2) ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs
with earthed
(grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact
with earthed
or grounded
surfaces
such as pipes,
radiators,
ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock ff your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling
or unplugging
the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Have damaged cords repaired
or replaced by an authorized service center. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
e) When operating
a power tool outdoors,
use an extension
cord suitable
for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common
sense
when operating
a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of
drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety
equipment.
Always
wear eye protection.
Safety equipment
such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental
starting.
Ensure
the switch is in the off-position
before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting
key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach.
Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing
and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
g) ff devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction
and collection
facilities,
ensure these are connected
and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect
the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing
accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power
tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons
unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other
condition
that may affect
the power
tools operation,
ff
damaged,
have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power
tool, accessories
and
tool bits etc., in accordance
with
these
instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, 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.
5) SERVICE
a) 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.

•
Hold power
tools
by insulated
gripping
surfaces
when performing
an operation
where the cutting
tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool 'live" and shock the operator.
Be certain that the material being drilled does not conceal electric or gas service and that
their locations have been verified with the utility companies.
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary
handles supplied
with the tool
