WORK AREA

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, will result in death

or serious injury.

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work benches and dark work

areas may cause accidents or injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury.

Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite

the dust or fumes.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol

indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,

if not avoided, may result in property damage.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

NOTE provides additional information that is useful

for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a

NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep the cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords

immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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.

People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their

physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in

close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of

the pacemaker.

Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of

any other batteries may create risk of fire.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-

ing a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,

and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

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.

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 power tools with your finger on the switch

or inserting battery pack into a tool with the power switch “ON” invites accidents.

WARNING: Handling the power cord on corded products may expose you to

lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a

key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

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 shock or injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-

ing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safe-

ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS

TOOL USE AND CARE

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when perform-

ing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact

with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock

the operator.

Use clamps 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.

SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL / DRIVERS

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 is designed.

Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a

dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.

Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the spinning chuck or

drill bit. Your hand may be lacerated or may cause injury.

Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or “OFF” posi-

tion before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Secure the material being worked on. Never hold it in your hand or across

your legs. Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and

walls or posts. Should the socket or bit become bound in the work, the

reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.

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 termi-

nals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.

Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the

Cordless Drill before switching the tool “ ON” . Keys or wrenches can fly away

at high velocity striking you or a bystander.

When using the Cordless Drill, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both

hands.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Keep the handle of the Cordless Drill dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

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.

Do not run the Cordless Drill while carrying it at your side. A spinning

socket or bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result.

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.

Disconnect the plug or remove the battery pack from tool and place the switch

in the locked or “OFF” position before making any assembly adjustments,

changing accessories, performing any inspection, maintenance or cleaning

procedures. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

tool accidentally.

CHARGER

Before using battery charger, please read carefully all

instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery pack and

product using battery.

The battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery pack requires

3-5 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 1 hour

for the battery to be fully charged.

Use only the charger which accompanied your product or direct replacement as

listed in this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use only Alltrade

approved chargers with your product.

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 have a shortened life.

Do not disassemble charger.

Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance

has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to

pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool

and recharge the battery for optimal performance.

Do not use charger if it has been damaged, left outdoors in the rain, snow, wet

or damp environments, or immersed in liquid.

The battery pack and charger heat during charging. Place the charger on a flat,

non-flammable surface away from flammable materials with at least four inches of

clearance to allow proper air circulation around the charger and battery pack.

Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F.

Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed

When the battery pack requires recharging, a 1 hour charge allows the tool to

operate at full power. A charging indicator light on the charger will illuminate to

show that charging is taking place.

120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.

The battery pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Drill begins to

run slowly.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as

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 fire.

6. The battery can be left in a “Trickle Charge” mode until ready to use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES

When using your Cordless Drill continuously, the batteries in your battery pack

will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately

30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes

discharged and is hot, the red light on the charger will flash. When the battery

pack cools down, the red light will glow continuously to indicate fast charging

mode, 1-hour charge time.

2. Insert the shank of the bit (or

other accessory) fully into the

keyless chuck, taking care to

keep the bit in the center of

the jaws of the chuck.

3. Turn the front end of the chuck clockwise to hold the bit in place.

4. Tighten securely by turning the front end of the chuck clockwise while holding

the rear end.

This will occur when continuous use of your Cordless

Drill causes the battery pack to become hot. It does not occur under normal

circumstances.

OPERATING THE DRILL

Never tape the trigger switch down to provide continu-

ous high speed. The tool may fail under such conditions causing fire or

personal injury.

• Never try to start a stalled Drill by clicking the trigger switch “ ON” and “ OFF” .

This may damage your tool.

DRILLING METAL

WHEN DRILLING HARD METALS:

• To reduce jamming, always keep the Drill running when pulling the bit out of a

finished hole.

• Apply a lubricant, such as cutting oil, to the tip of the bit.

• Start with a small hole then enlarge to the required size. Make sure the bit is

actually cutting and not spinning in the hole as this will dull the edges of the bit.

SCREWDRIVING:

• Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.

• Keep enough pressure on the bit to keep it drilling through the material.

• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small amount of washing liquid or

soap as a lubricant.

DRILLING MASONRY

WHEN DRILLING MASONRY:

• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line with the screw.

• Masonry can be brittle so be careful not to apply too much pressure and crack

the material.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Apply enough pressure to keep the bit cutting and not spinning in the hole as this

will dull the edges of the bit.

Always remove the battery pack before attempting

cleaning or maintenance.

• Bricks and similar soft materials will require less pressure, concrete will require

much more.

This Cordless Drill is lubricated before it leaves the

factory. This lubrication should last for the life of the tool. No further

lubrication is required.

DRILLING WOOD

Use twist bits to drill holes in wood. Make sure the bits are sharp. Pull the bits

out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the flutes as an overburdened bit

may overheat.

Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get

inside the casing. Never immerse any part of the tool in a liquid. Always keep the

ventilation openings clear.

HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE

Always clean the battery pack using only a dry cloth. Do not use liquids.

Always unplug the charger before cleaning it.

DRILLING:

• Keep the right amount of pressure in a straight line with the drill bit. Too little and

the bit will spin without cutting, too much and the motor may stall.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool and charger using only a soft

brush or dry cloth.

• Just before the drill tip breaks though the other side of the work piece drill more

slowly and decrease pressure on the tool. This will prevent stalling and leave a

cleaner hole.

Never open the Cordless Drill case, battery pack or charger. Do not attempt to

repair the Cordless Drill, battery pack or charger yourself. Opening any of these

parts will void your warranty.

• Use a block of wood to back up work pieces that may splinter.

• Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.

• Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.

• Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.

• Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron, aluminum, copper,

and brass.

• When drilling, start the hole slowly, allowing the bit to drill deep enough to prevent

slipping at higher speeds.

ACCESSORIES

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

BATTERIES

Alltrade batteries can be recharged many times. At the end of their useful life,

recycle batteries with due care for our environment.

Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.

Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries are recyclable. Take them to your local recycling center

or call 1-800-822-8837. Collected batteries will be recycled or disposed of properly.

If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry

the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi-

ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord (see table below).

GENERAL CUTTING

PLUNGE CUTTING

Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade

is at full speed. If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back

causing serious personal injury.

Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your

hands and feet well away from the work piece.

Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed.

If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious

personal injury.

Use proper bladde for the particular cutting application.

• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.

• Start inside the area to be cut out.

• Depress the lock-on button and press the trigger

to start the saw.

• Put on eye protection.

• Set the shoe against the work piece.

• Clear the saw of any

foreign material.

• When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece.

• Make sure the work piece is held

securely in place. Hold smaller

pieces in a vise or attach to the

workbench with clamps.

METAL CUTTING

Never use gasoline or any flammable liquid as a

lubricant. Sparking from the motor may cause it to ignite into flames.

• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.

• Pull the trigger to start the saw.

• When cutting metals other then copper, brass or aluminum, always use a lubri-

cant, such as cutting oil, to keep the blade cool. This will prolong the life of the

blade as well as speeding up the cutting process.

• Set the shoe against the work piece.

• When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece.

• Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces, such as

pipe or conduit, in a vise or attach to the workbench with clamps.

• To eliminate vibration, always cut close to the clamping point.

• When cutting thin sheets of metal, place a piece of plywood on either side to control

vibration and prevent tearing.

ACCESSORIES

OIL

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.

If you must use an extension cord, be suree that the gauge is large enough to carry

the amount of current necessary for your power tool.

If not, your tool may experi-

ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord (see table on next page).
