power tool use and care

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. 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.
Service

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Drill and Impact Drill Safety Warnings

1. Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. 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.
4. Let bit cool before touching, changing
or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically
while in use, and can burn you.
5. If the drill bit jams, release the
trigger immediately; drill torque
can cause injury or break bit.

misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.

tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, 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.
