GENERAL SAFETY RULES  
Tool Use and Care  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your appli-  
cation. The correct tool will do the job better and safer  
at the rate for which it is designed.  
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A  
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-  
ous and must be repaired.  
Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the  
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce risk of  
starting the tool accidentally.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS  
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  
not using your battery tool or when changing acces-  
sories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric  
shock, fire, or serious personal injury.  
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual care-  
fully. 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.  
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire  
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and  
possibly 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 heavier the cord. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting  
in loss of power and overheating.  
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.  
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.  
For best results, your battery tool should be charged  
in a location where the temperature is between 50  
and 100°F.  
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,  
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact  
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and  
water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If  
liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean  
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate  
medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the  
risk of serious personal injury.  
Important Rules for Battery Tools  
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an  
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operat-  
ing condition. Be aware of possible hazards when

OPERATION  
WARNING:  
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side  
shields when operating tool. Failure to do so could result  
in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in  
possible serious injury.  
DRILLING  
See Figure 13.  
1 5  
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to  
mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit  
from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the  
lower speed feature allows starting holes without center  
punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your  
drill at lower speed until the hole is started.  
2 0  
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with  
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.  
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.  
WARNING:  
Fig. 13  
Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these  
situations occur, the 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 you are 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.

MAINTENANCE  
BATTERIES  
Your drill 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. See Page 16 for DISPOSAL OF EXHAUSTED BATTERIES. Do not disassemble your drill or battery  
pack.  
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:  
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above normal room temperature will shorten battery life.  
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for the batteries to cool and charge immediately.  
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.  
DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices can  
damage the tool, as well as the work piece.  
WARNING:  
Whenservicinguseonlyidenticalreplacementparts. Use  
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product  
damage.  
WARNING:  
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories  
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such  
alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a  
hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal  
injury.  
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most  
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of  
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use  
a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.  
WARNING:  
CAUTION:  
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-  
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact  
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that may  
damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.  
Any repairs requiring disassembly should only be  
performed by an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. For  
the repair center nearest you, call 1-800-525-2579.
