WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, 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
losecontrol.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged onlywith
the specified charger for the battery. A chargerthat
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool onlywith specifically des-
ignated battery pack. Use of anyotherbatteries may
create a risk of fire.
• Use battery only with charger listed.

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoidaccidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or insert-
ing the battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a 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 enable better
controlofthetool inunexpectedsituations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dustmask,non-skidsafety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be usedfor appropriateconditions.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair, Looseclothes,jewelry,or longhair canbe drawn
intoairvents.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footingon a solidsurface enablesbetter control ofthe
toolinunexpectedsituations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-
plication. The correct tool wLIIdo thejob better and
safer at the ratefor which it is designed.
• De not use tool if switch does notturn it on or off.
A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• 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 net 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.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
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.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

ure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
DRILLING
See Figure 11.
A levelislocated on top of the motor housing to help keep
the drill bit level during use.
• Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
• Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
• Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled.
• Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
• Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let
the tool do the work.
_" WARNING: Be prepared for binding at bit break-
through. When these situations occur, 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 not prepared, this loss
of control can result in possible serious injury.
• When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center
punch to mark the desired hole location. This will pre-

started.
• 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 the workpiece or if the drill stalls,
stop the tool immediately. Removethe bit from the
workpiece and determine the reasonfor jamming.
This drill has an electric brake. When the switch trigger
is released, the chuck stops turning. When the brake is
functioning properly, sparks will be visible through the
vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action
of the brake.
