SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES – cont'd

To avoid injury from accidental
starting, always remove the battery from
the tool before installing or removing a
drill bit, saw blade, sandpaper,
accessory or attachment.

DRILL SAFETY


Do not install or use any drill bit that
exceeds 7" (175 mm) in length or
extends more than 6" (150 mm) beyond
the chuck jaws. They can suddenly
bend or break.

Before starting the operation, jog the
drill switch to make sure the drill bit
does not wobble or vibrate.

Do not use fly cutters or multiple-part
hole cutters, as they can come apart or
become unbalanced in use.

Make sure the spindle has come to a
complete stop before touching the
chuck or attempting to change the drill
bit.

Always make sure the chuck is tight
and the drill bit firmly tightened in
the chuck before starting drill.
BATTERY & CHARGER
SAFETY

Do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed
metal end. Do not place battery in
aprons, pockets, drawers, etc. with
loose nails, screws, keys etc. The
battery could short circuit causing a fire,
personal injury or damage to the
battery.

Never attempt to open the battery for
any reason. If the housing of the
battery breaks or cracks, immediately
discontinue use and do not recharge.
POWER TOOL SAFETY

Do not charge the battery if it is wet
or shows any evidence of corrosion.

A small leakage from the battery may
occur under extreme usage, charging or
temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. If however, the outer
seal is broken and this leakage gets
on your skin, follow these steps:
1. Wash quickly with soap and water.
2. Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
immediately with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
NOTE: The liquid is 20-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.

Do not incinerate the battery. It can
explode in a fire.

Do not use an extension cord. Plug
the charger cord directly into an
electrical outlet.

Use the charger only in a standard
110-120 V/60Hz electrical outlet.

Charge the battery only with the
charger supplied with the drill.

Do not use the charger in wet or
damp conditions. It is intended for
indoor use only. Do not use the charger
near sinks or tubs. Do not immerse the
charger in water.

Do not allow the cord to hang over
the edge of a table or counter or
touch hot surfaces. The charger
should be placed away from sinks and
hot surfaces.

Do not use charger to charge any
batteries other than the drill
batteries. Other batteries may explode.

Do not operate charger if cord or
plug is damaged. Replace damaged
cord and plug immediately.
