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.

Safety Rules for Cordless Drill/Drivers
a. Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
b. Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
c. Do not drill, fasten or break into
existing walls or other blind areas
where electrical wiring may exist. If
this situation is unavoidable, disconnect
all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this
worksite.
d. Always hold the tool with both hands.
If the bit jams two hands will give you
maximum control over torque reaction
or kickback.
e. Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust
mask
applications which generate dust.
f.
Secure the material being drilled.
Never hold it in your hand or across
legs. Unstable support can cause the
drill bit to bind causing loss of control
and injury.
g. Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any assembly,
adjustments or changing accessories.

6. Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
a.
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery
b.
packs. Service of battery packs should
only
be
performed
manufacturer or authorized service
providers.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
h. Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and
walls or posts. Should the bit become
bound or jammed in the work, the
reaction torque of the tool could crush
your hand or leg.
i.
If the bit becomes bound in the
workpiece,
release
immediately, reverse the direction of
rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger
to back out the bit. Be ready for a
strong reaction torque. The drill body
will tend to twist in the opposite
direction as the drill bit is rotating.
j.
Do not grasp the tool or place your
hands too close to the spinning chuck
or drill bit. Your hand may be lacerated.
k. When installing a bit, insert the shank
of the bit well within the chuck. If the
bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip
of the chuck over the bit is reduced and
the loss of control is increased. After bit
insertion, pull on bit to ensure it is
locked.
l.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. Dull or damaged bits have
a greater tendency to bind in the
workpiece.
m. When removing the bit from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the
bit or accessory. Accessories may be
hot after prolonged use.
