 General Safety Rules

 Specific Safety Rules and Symbols

 Functional Description

 Assembly

 Operation

 Maintenance

 Accessories

!

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA

REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1

FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription

eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.

WARNING: Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if

broken during the operation of a power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE

WARNING: Use hearing protection, particularly during extended

periods of operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.

!

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

CAUTION: Before using this tool or any of its accessories, read this

manual and follow all Safety Rules and Operating Instructions.

!

4

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the

tool, use proper circuit protection.

This tool is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. It must be connected to

a 120 V, 15 A circuit that is protected by a time-delayed fuse or circuit

breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn,

cut or damaged in any way.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN

OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.

WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are

known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These

chemicals include:

Lead from lead-based paints

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how

often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these

chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety

equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out

microscopic particles.

!

5

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand

all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious personal

injury.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

Do not operate power tools in potentially

explosive environments, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust.

Power tools create sparks that may ignite

dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors

away while operating the tool. Distractions

can cause the operator to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). This plug will only fit into a

polarized plug one way.

If the plug does not fit into the outlet

properly, reverse the plug. If it still does not

fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a

polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in

any way. Double insulation eliminates the

need for the three-pronged grounded

power cord and grounded power supply

system.

Avoid contact between the operator's body

and grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if the

operator's body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering the power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Do not use the

power cord to carry the tool or to pull the

plug out of the outlet. Keep the power cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and

moving parts. Replace a damaged power

cord immediately. A damaged power cord

increases the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an outdoor-rated extension cord type

“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for

outdoor use and they reduce the risk of

electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, be aware of the surroundings,

and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while

tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating a power tool

may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewellery.

Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothing, jewellery, or long hair can get

caught in moving parts.

!

POWER TOOL SAFETY

6

PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d

Avoid accidental start-ups. Verify that the

switch is in the OFF position before

plugging in the tool. Carrying a power tool

with a finger on the switch or plugging in a

tool that has the switch in the ON position

invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

before turning the 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. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance allows the operator to maintain

better control of the tool in unexpected

situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection.

Use a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a

hardhat, or hearing protection when

appropriate.

USE AND CARE OF POWER TOOLS

Use clamps or another practical means to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work in a hand

or against the body is not stable, and may

lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool

for the application. The correct tool will do

the job better and safer when used at the

rate that it was designed to work at.

Do not use a power tool if it cannot be

turned ON or OFF using the power switch.

A tool that cannot be controlled using the

switch is dangerous, and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the outlet before

making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the tool. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of accidental start-ups.

When power tools are not in use, store

them out of the reach of children or

untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools

sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind, and are easier to

control.

Inspect the tool for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, broken parts, and any

other condition that may affect the

operation of the tool. If it is damaged, have

the tool serviced before using it. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained

tools.

Use only accessories that are

recommended by the manufacturer for this

model. Accessories that are suitable for

one tool may become hazardous when

used with another tool.

SERVICE

Tools servicing must be performed by

qualified personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by non-qualified

personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow the instructions

in the Maintenance section of this Manual.

The use of unauthorized parts or failure to

follow the instructions in the Maintenance

section of this Manual may create a risk of

electric shock or injury.

POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNING: Know your cordless

drill. Do not plug in the charger or

install the battery in the tool until you

have read and understand this

Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s

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.

Always wear eye protection.

Any power tool can throw

foreign objects into your eyes

and cause permanent eye

damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles

(not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety

standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have

only impact resistant lenses. They ARE

NOT safety glasses.

WARNING: Glasses or goggles

not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1

could cause serious injury when they

break.

WARNING: Always use a safety

shield, hearing protection and dust

mask when drilling concrete.

Do not drill material too small to be

securely held.

Always keep hands out of the path of the

drill bit. Avoid awkward hand positions

where a sudden slip could cause your

hand to move into the path of the drill bit.

Secure workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to

hold the workpiece. It is safer than using

your hand and it frees both hands to

operate the tool.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign

objects in the part of the workpiece to be

drilled.

To avoid injury from accidental starting,

always remove the battery from the tool

before installing or removing a drill bit.

Do not install or use any drill bit that

exceeds 7” (17.5 cm) in length or extends

more than 6” (15 cm) beyond the chuck

jaws. They can bend or break suddenly.

Before starting the operation, jog the drill

switch to make sure the drill bit does not

wobble or vibrate.

Do not use fly cutters or multiple-part hole

cutters, because they can come apart or

become unbalanced during use.

Make sure the spindle has come to a

complete stop before touching the chuck

or attempting to change the drill bit.

Always make sure the chuck is tight and

the drill bit firmly tightened in the chuck

before starting drill.

Only use accessories designed for use

with this tool.
