SAFETY SYMBOLS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols
and the explanations with them deserve your careful attention and understanding. The symbol
warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any danger. The instructions and warnings they give are
no substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
WARNING Be sure to read and understand all safety instructions in this Owner's Manual,
including all safety alert symbols such as “DANGER,” “WARNING,” and
CAUTION” before using this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re, and/or serious personal injury.
The denitions below describe the level of severity for each signal word. Please read the manual and
pay attention to these symbols.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications
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
ammable 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 inuence 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.
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 specied 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 specically
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, ush 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 modied. 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 re
or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause
explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specied 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
qualied 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 ANGLE DRILL
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use the auxiliary handle. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
Brace the tool properly before use. This
tool produces a high output torque and without
properly bracing the tool during operation,
loss of control may occur resulting in personal
injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or auxiliary 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.
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.
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.
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.

BIT BINDING
WARNING To reduce the risk of
injury, hold or brace the
tool securely. Always be prepared for bit
binding and drill reaction.
WARNING To reduce the risk of
injury, keep hands away
from the bit and all moving parts. If the bit
binds, the drill will suddenly react in the opposite
direction of the rotation of the bit. Reduce the
chances of a sudden reaction by following the
instructions listed below. Prepare for a sudden
reaction by holding or bracing the tool securely.
To reduce the chance of bit binding:
Use sharp bits. Sharp bits are less likely to
bind when drilling.
Use the proper bit for the job. There are many
types of bits designed for specic purposes.
Keep self-feed bits aligned with the work
surface so bits go in straight.
Avoid drilling warped, wet, knotty, and/or
pitchy material if possible.
Avoid drilling in material that you suspect
contains hidden nails or other things that may
cause the bit to bind.
The direction of reaction is always opposite of
the direction of bit rotation. Reaction is even
more likely to occur when enlarging already
existing holes and at the point when the bit
breaks through the other side of the material.
If the bit binds:
1. Release the trigger switch immediately.
2. Switch the direction-of-rotation selector to
reverse rotation.
3. Remove the bit from the work and start again.
4. Do not press the trigger switch to attempt to
start a stalled bit. This will damage the drill.
BRACING FOR FORWARD ROTATION
(FIG. 15)
When drilling in forward rotation, the bit will
rotate in a clockwise direction (A). If the
bit binds in the hole, the bit will come to a
sudden stop and the drill will suddenly react
in a counterclockwise direction (B). The motor
housing braced (C) against a stud will hold the
drill in position.

BRACING FOR REVERSE ROTATION
(FIG. 16)
When drilling in reverse, the bit will rotate in a
counterclockwise direction (A). If the bit binds
in the hole, the bit will come to a sudden stop
and the drill will suddenly react in a clockwise
direction (B).
The motor housing braced (C) against a stud
will hold the drill in position.
DRILLING (FIG. 17)
WARNING Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses
with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust. If 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 angle drill rmly with both hands.
One hand on the main handle and the other
on the front handle or auxiliary handle.
d. Place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress
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, 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 efciency.
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 large, drill
a smaller hole rst, and then enlarge to the
required size with a larger bit; it’s often faster in
the long run.

DRILLING WOOD (FIG. 18)
For maximum performance, use high-speed
steel or brad-point bits for wood drilling.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent
the bit from slipping off the starting point.
Increase speed as the drill bit bites into the
material.
When drilling “through” holes, secure a block
of wood behind the workpiece to prevent
ragged or splintered edges on the back side of
the workpiece.
NOTICE: Bits may overheat unless reversed and
pulled out frequently to clear chips from utes.

For maximum performance, use high-speed
steel bits for metal or steel drilling.
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.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent
the bit from slipping off the starting point.
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.
DRILLING MASONRY (FIG. 19)
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.
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. 19).
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent
the bit from slipping off the starting point.
