CAUTION:
Carefully read through this entire
operator's manual before using your new drill-driver.
Pay close attention to the General Safety Rules,
Specific Safety Rules and Symbols, Warnings and
Cautions. If you use your drill-driver properly and only
for it's intended use, you will enjoy years of safe,
reliable service.
Personal Safety
■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
■ Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on,
invites accidents.
■ Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do
not use on a ladder or unstable support.
■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
