f) 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.
g) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.

suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Service
a) Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
b) When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Safety rules for cordless drill/drivers
a)
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
b)
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using
this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
c)
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.
d)
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.
Many accidents are caused by
Accessories that may be
Use of
e)
If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the
trigger 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.
f)
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the
spinning chuck or drill bit. Your hand may be lacerated.
g)
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank of the bit well
within the jaws of the chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep
enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced and
the loss of control is increased.
h)
Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull
or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the
workpiece.
i)
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. Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the drill before switching the tool on. Keys
or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking you or
a bystander.
j)
Do not run the drill while carrying it at your side. A
spinning drill bit could become entangled with clothing
and injury may result.
WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
a)
Lead from lead-based paints,
b)
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
c)
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 those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
