Remove battery pack before changing
accessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery
inserted are in the operative condition.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when
"seating" or removing a fastener. The
screwdriver housing may tend to twist in the
opposite direction of bit rotation when
"seating" or removing a fastener depending
on the torque setting of the tool.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. When installing an accessory,
insert the shank of the bit well within the
chuck. Be sure the chuck has locked onto the
bit correctly.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when
the screwdriver is switched off. Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools
equipped with shut-off clutches are not
designed for drilling applications. The clutch
can shut off automatically and without
warning.
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools 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.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist.

Safety Rules for Drills
If this situation is
Be careful when driving long screws –
there is a risk of sliding off the fastener
head depending on type of socket or bit
used. First test the run-down of a fastener
and pay attention during the screw driving
process to ensure you do not injure yourself
if the tool bit or socket slides off of the
fastener.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, 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, cement and
other masonry products.
• 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 dust masks designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
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.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.
Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do
not wrap the cord around your arm or
wrist. If you lose control and have the cord
wrapped around your arm or wrist it may
entrap you and cause injury.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
