PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product

If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, inviting serious
accident.

source. Use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.

However, when drilling 6.5 mm or smaller holes,
use a metalworking drill bit.
