WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY:
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 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
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may
appear to work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to
the operator.
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
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air
vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can
cause an injury in an unexpected situation.
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
cannot safely control the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Secure the work piece. Use clamp or other practical way to hold the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
• Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed
rate for which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in
personal injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a
job for which it is not designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center.
• Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or
storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which
may cause personal injury.
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced
persons. It is dangerous in the hand of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving
parts, component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard
or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
• Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to
the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended
accessories.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work
piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction
of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work
piece to be thrown out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not
leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in
contact with the work piece.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Ensure the switch trigger is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
• Use battery tools only with specified battery pack. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Avoid storing battery pack in a container with other metal objects
such as nails, coins, clips, keys, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Always protect the battery terminals when battery
pack is not being used. Connecting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery.
Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Battery tools do not need to be plugged into an electrical outlet,
therefore, they are always in operation condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using
your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire or personal injury.
WARNING:
USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER
AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate
tool in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust
collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung
disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged
contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on
your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly
fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust
exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS
AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the
table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

required.
• To insert or change bits, put the reversing switch in the off position. Hold the collar of the chuck
with one hand and rotate the body of the chuck to tighten or loosen.
• Always make sure that bits are seated firmly between the chuck jaws. Never attempt to operate a
bit that is wobbly, unstable, or broken.
WARNING:Make sure the drill bit is inserted straight into chuck jaws.
Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle and tighten. This
could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
Clutch (Torque) Settings
• During screw driving applications, you can adjust the maximum torque that the drill will produce.
• This feature can be used to prevent the stripping and breaking of screws, or to set a series of
screws to a depth that fits your project.
• Set the clutch ring at the front of the drill to settings from 1 (lightest) to 16 (heaviest). Setting 16 is
direct drive (torque is not limited) and used primarily for drilling operations.
• In general, you will find the lower settings more useful with smaller screws and the higher
settings more useful for larger screws.
General Screwdriving
1. Clamp your work piece.
2. Drill pilot holes for larger screws or when driving screws into hardwoods.
3. Exert enough pressure to start the screw and keep it turning. Do not force the screw. Let the tool
do the work.
4. Use a speed that will not strip the screw head or break the screw. Maintain your balance.
General Drilling
1. Clamp your work piece. Use torque setting 16 then exert enough pressure to start the drill bit and
keep it cutting. Do not force or stall the bit. Don’t bend or twist the bit. Let the tool and the blade
do the work.
2. Maintain your balance and be prepared for binding and for when the bit breaks through the
material.

WARNING: Forcing a drill bit, bending or twisting the bit, or failure to
maintain balance in case of binding and breakthrough can result in serious
personal injury.
3. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer bit or higher speed. If the bit overheats or
clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser bit or slower speed setting. Replace bits when they
become dull. Dull bits will produce poor results and may overheat the drill.
4. Use a coating of light oil when drilling into metal to keep the bit cool and to facilitate cutting.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
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 clean cloths to remove dirt, dust,
oil, grease, etc.
