6. 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.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
a.
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
b. Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
c.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
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.
e.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other
blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this
situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
f.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when
using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for
applications which generate dust.
g. Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure
time by taking frequent rest periods. Vibration caused
by hammer-drill action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
h. Secure the material being drilled. Never hold it in your
hand or across legs. Unstable support can cause the drill
bit to bind causing loss of control and injury.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Safety Rules for Cordless Drill/Drivers
i.
Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any
assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
j.
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the
tool or side handle and walls or posts. Should the bit
become bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque
of the tool could crush your hand or leg.
k.
If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the
trigger immediately, reverse the direction of rotation
and slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be
ready for a strong reaction torque. The drill body will tend
to twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is rotating.
l.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close
to the spinning chuck or drill bit. Your hand may be
lacerated.
m. 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.
n. Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull
or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the
workpiece.
o.
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.
