Electrical Safety 1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. 2.
5. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles when working with this tool. Tool Use and Care 1. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. 2. Do not force the tool.
Specific Safety Rules 1. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the Cordless Drill in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location. 2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cordless Drill. These carry important information.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) 13. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools With Two Prong Plugs 1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.) 2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See Figure B.

Charging 1. NOTE: The Battery Pack (28) requires charging before first use. The first charge requires a 5 hour charge prior to initial use of the Cordless Drill. 2. Note: Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish. Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can be permanently damaged. Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool after its’ performance is decreasing.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram on page 13. WARNING! Remove the Battery (28) from the tool and set the Rotation Button (9) to its center, locked, position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

helping to prevent damage to the screw, bit, or workpiece. The higher the number, the more torque is applied before the clutch slips. Unless you are drilling, always start with a lower number to help prevent damage. This drill also has torque settings between the numbers to allow a greater range of control. Drill Setting ( ): This setting essentially prevents the clutch from slipping entirely.
Drill only as deep as necessary. Do not drill deeper than necessary into walls or other areas where you cannot identify any possible hazards behind the drilling surface. To reduce jamming as the Bit breaks through the workpiece, decrease the drilling pressure when the point of the Bit breaks through the workpiece. 14. When you have drilled the hole, remove the Bit from the hole while the Cordless Drill is still running. This prevents the Bit from getting caught in the hole and causing damage. 15.
