surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the

electric shock.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be

sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
Hold the tool firmly.

immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
Some material contains chemicals which may
8.
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
If the drill bit cannot be loosened even you
9.
open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out. In such a
case, pulling out the drill bit by hand may result in
injury by its sharp edge.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than the max-
1.
imum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the
2.
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
3.
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Switch action
► Fig.1: 1. Lock button 2. Switch trigger
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Indicator lamp
► Fig.2: 1. Indicator lamp
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged to the mains. If the indicator lamp is lit
but the tool does not start even if the tool is switched
ON, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the motor
or the switch may be defective. If the indicator lamp
does not light up, the mains cord or the indicator lamp
may be defective. When the mains cord is defective, the
tool neither starts nor lights the indicator lamp. When
the indicator lamp is defective, the tool starts without
the indicator lamp lighting up.
