Always hold the tool with both hands. If the
bit jams two hands will give you maximum control
over torque reaction or kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection
when using this tool. Use a dust mask or res-
pirator for applications which generate dust.
Secure the material being drilled. Never hold
it in your hand or across legs. Unstable sup-
port can cause the drill bit to bind causing loss of
control and injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place
the switch in the locked or off position be-
fore making any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool ac-
cidentally.
Position yourself to avoid being caught be-
tween 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.
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
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 pow-
er 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 improp-
erly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, 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 in-
vites accidents.

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.
When installing a bit, insert the shank of the
bit well within the chuck. If the bit is not insert-
ed deep enough, the grip of the chuck over the
bit is reduced and the loss of control is increased.
After bit insertion, pull on bit to ensure it is locked.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and acces-
sories. Dull or damaged bits have a greater ten-
dency 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 wrench-
es 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.
Additional Safety Warnings
ing, drilling, and other construction activities
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
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treat-
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 par-
ticles.
Some dust created by pow-
er sanding, sawing, grind-
other masonry products, and
ed lumber.
