INSTRUCTIONS
Work
Area
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate
power tools in explosive
atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence
of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep bystanders,
children, and visitors away while
operating
a power tool. Distractions
can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical
Safety
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords
immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.
•
A battery operated tool with integral batteries
or a
separate battery pack must be recharged
only with
the specified charger 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. Use battery
only with charger listed.

•
Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated
battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire. Use only with battery pack
listed.
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 (eft 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.
Tool Use and Care
•
Use clamps or other practical way 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.
•
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application.
The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it i£ designed.
•
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
A tool that cannot be contrerledwith
the switch is
dangerous
and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch
in the locked or off position
before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stodng the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce ri_k of starting the tool
accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection
from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
•
Use only accessories
that are recommended
by
the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories
that
may be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed
only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing
a tool, use only identical
replace-
ment 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 shock or injury.
Hold tool by insulated
gripping surfaces
when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Additional
Rules
For Safe
Operation
•
Know your power tool. 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.
•
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the hi_avier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in loss of power and overheating.
Important
Rules
for Battery
Tools
•
Battery tools do not have to be plugged

When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to
mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from
slipping off center as the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Place mode selector in drillin_mode.
Hold tool firmly and
place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch
trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
_i
WARNING:
Be prepared for bind_g
or bit
breakthrough.
When these situations
occur, drill has
a tendency
to grab and kick opposite to the direction
of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through
material.
If not prepared,
this loss
of control can result in possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep
it from overheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the bit
and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece
or if the drill stalls, release
switch trigger immediately.
Remove the bit from the
workpiece
and determine
the reason for jamming.

BATTERIES
Your drill's battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium
rechargeable
batteries.
Length of service from each
charging
will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries
in this tool have been designed
to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually
wear out. Do not disassemble
battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries.
Handling of these
batteries,
especially
when wearing
rings and jewelry,
could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible 'battery life, we suggest the
following:
•
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures
above or below normal room
temperature
will shorten battery life.
•
Never store batteries
in a discharged
condition.
Recharge them immediately
after they are
discharged.
•
All batteries gradually
lose their charge. The higher
the temperature
the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store your tool for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery life.
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of batteries properly.
This product contains
nickel-cadmium
batteries.
Local, state or federal laws
may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium
batteries
in ordinary
trash.
Consult your local waste authority
for information
regarding
available
recycling
and/or disposal
options.
