1
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charging stand/transformer for the battery. A
charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery,
1. Use battery operated teem only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
2. Use battery only with charging stand/transformer listed.

3. Do not abuse the cord on the charging stand. Never carry the charging
stand/transformer by its power cord. Never pull the power cord to remove the transformer
from the power outlet. Damage to the cord or charging stand/transformer could occur and
create an electric shock hazard. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.

SERVICE SAFETY
1. If any part of this cordless drill / driver is missing or should break, bend, or fail
in any way; or should any component fail to perform properly: have the missing,
damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.
SERVICE SAFETY cont.
2. Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
3. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECiFiC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL/DRIVERS
1. Know your cordless drill/driver. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its
applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to
this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious injury.
2. BE SURE that twist drill bits, screwdriver bits and other accessory attachments are
properly and securely mounted in the chuck jaws BEFORE operating the drill / driver.
3. ALWAYS carefully inspect the material you are going to drill / drive into. Drilling/driving
into nails, pipes and electrical wires can cause serious personal injury.
4. HOLD DRILL / DRIVER by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing
an operation where the tool may drill / drive into hidden wiring. Contact with a
"live" wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
5. NEVER hold the piece being drilled in your hands or across your legs.
It is important to support and clamp the workpiece properly in order to minimize body
exposure, bit binding, or loss of control.
6. Maintain a firm grip on the drill / driver to resist starting torque.
7. Use sharp accessory bits only. For drilling in WOOD use twist drill bits, spade bits,
or power auger bits. For METAL use high-speed steel twist drill bits. For MASONRY
use carbide-tipped bits. For PLASTIC use low drilling speeds for material with a low
melting point. For SCREWDRIVlNG use the proper size screwdriving bit for the
screwdriving application such as Phillips, slotted and square recess bits.
8. BE SURE the material to be drilled is stationary, anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling
thin material, use a back-up block to prevent damage to the material.
9. ONLY USE the specifically listed battery pack and charging stand listed on page 6 of
this manual. Use of any other battery pack or charging stand/transformer can create
risk of injury and fire.
10. Cordless tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,
they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not
using your battery operated tool or when changing accessories. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
11. Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the
risk of explosion and possible injury.
12. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Never use a battery pack or charging
stand/transformer that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged
battery pack is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery
pack immediately.
