WARNING

• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

– Lead from lead-based paints.

– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.

– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

– Work in a well-ventilated area.

– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to

lter out microscopic particles.

– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap

and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote

absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders 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 with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching

outlets will reduce 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 earthed or

grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

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 or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power

tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

4

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent

and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction

of a second.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if

detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

power tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,

taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

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 re when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and re.

When battery pack is not 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 burns or a re.

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.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modied

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or

temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.

5

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the

temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures

outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by 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 packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed

by the manufacturer or authorized service providers

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR HAMMER DRILL

Safety instructions for all operations:

Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory

or fastener contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits:

Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher

speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece,

resulting in personal injury.

Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece.

At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the

workpiece, resulting in personal injury.

Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits

can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Strap Fixing (Fig. 10)

Strap xing is provided to attach a wrist strap (not included) in order to reduce the chances of

dropping your tool. Wrap the strap around your hand when carrying the tool.

Drill Bits

Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear. Use only bits that are sharp and in good condition.

Twist Bits: Available with straight and reduced shanks for wood and light-duty metal drilling.

High-speed bits cut faster and last longer when drilling hard materials.

Carbide-Tipped Bits: Used for drilling stone, concrete, plaster, cement, and other unusually

hard nonmetal materials. Use continuous, heavy feed pressure when using carbide-tipped bits.

Drilling (Fig. 11)

WARNING Always wear safety

goggles or safety glasses

with side shields during power tool

operation or when blowing dust. If the

operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

a. Check that the direction-of-rotation selector

is at the correct setting (forward or reverse).

b. Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or

with clamps to keep it from turning as the

drill bit rotates.

c. Hold the drill rmly and place the bit at the

point to be drilled.

d. Squeeze the variable-speed trigger switch to

start the drill.

e. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying

only enough pressure to keep the bit “biting”. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to

elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.

f. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, rst use a center punch to mark the desired location of

the hole. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off-center as the hole is started.

g. When drilling metals, use 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.

h. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit

from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

There are two rules for drilling hard materials. First, the harder the material, the greater the

pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second, the harder the material, the slower the speed

should be. If the hole to be drilled is fairly large, drill a smaller hole rst, then enlarge to the

required size with a larger bit; it’s often faster in the long run than drilling a larger hole initially.

Wood Drilling

For maximum performance, use high-speed

steel or brad-point bits for wood drilling.

a. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent

the bit from slipping off the starting point.

b. Increase speed as the drill bit bites into the

material.

c. When drilling “through” holes, place a block

of wood behind the workpiece to prevent

ragged or splintered edges on the back

side of the workpiece (Fig. 12).

NOTICE: Bits may overheat unless they are

reversed and pulled out frequently to clear

chips from the utes.

Metal Drilling

For maximum performance, use high-speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling.

a. When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will

prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling efciency.

b. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.

c. Maintain a speed and a pressure that allow cutting without overheating the bit.

Applying too much pressure will:

– Overheat the drill.

– Wear the bearings.

– Bend or burn bits.

– Produce off-center or irregularly shaped holes.

Masonry Drilling

For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry bits when drilling holes in brick, tile,

concrete, etc.

• Maintain a speed and a pressure that allow cutting without overheating the bit or drill.

Applying too much pressure will:

– Overheat the drill.

– Wear the bearings.

– Bend or burn bits.

– Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.

• Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick.

• Apply additional pressure for hard materials such as concrete.

Fig. 12

18

• You can make an improvised dust collector by taping a folded piece of paper (or a le folder)

to a wall, to reduce the amount of dust when drilling in walls (Fig. 13).

• A tennis ball cut in half can serve as a dust collector when drilling in ceilings (Fig. 13).

• When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and

pressure. To prevent the drill bit from skidding/sliding, rst apply two pieces of masking tape

to create an “X” shape over the intended drilling spot (Fig. 13). To prevent tile damage, do not

run the tool in hammer drilling setting .

• Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.

Fig. 13

Driving Screws (Fig. 14)

Try to use standard-type screws for easy

driving and improved grip.

a. Install the correct driver bit.

b. Ensure that the torque-adjustment ring is set

to the most suitable setting. If in doubt, start

with a low setting and gradually increase

the setting as necessary. Do not change the

torque setting when the tool is running.

c. Use the correct speed range for the job and

initially apply minimal pressure to the variable

speed trigger switch. Increase the speed only

when full control can be maintained.

d. It is advisable to drill a pilot hole rst. This

hole should be slightly longer than the screw

to be driven and just smaller than the shank diameter of the screw. The pilot hole will act as

a guide for the screw and will also make tightening the screw less difcult. When screws are

positioned close to an edge of the material, a pilot hole will also help to prevent splitting of

the wood.

e. Use a countersinking bit (sold separately) to accommodate the screw head so that it does

not protrude from the surface.

f. Keep sufcient pressure on the drill to prevent the bit from turning out of the screw head.

The

screw head can easily become damaged, making it difcult to drive home or remove the screw.

g. To stop the drill/driver, release the trigger switch and allow the tool to come to a complete

stop.

Automatic Spindle Lock

The automatic spindle lock allows you to use it as a manual screwdriver. You can give an extra

twist to rmly tighten a screw, loosen a very tight screw, or continue working when the battery

charge is depleted. For manual screwdriver purposes, the chuck is automatically locked when

the tool is off.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from

the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.
