Safety instructions for all operations

1. 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.

2. Always be sure you have a rm footing. Be

sure no one is below when using the tool in

3. Hold the tool rmly.

4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

6. Do not touch the drill bit, the workpiece or

chips immediately after operation; they may be

extremely hot and could burn your skin.

Some material contains chemicals which may be

toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and

skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

8. If the drill bit cannot be loosened even you

open the jaws, use pliers to pull it out. In such a

case,pullingoutthedrillbitbyhandmayresultin

injurybyitssharpedge.

9. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water

pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard

if damaged by use of the tool.

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.

CAUTION: Adjust the adjusting ring to the

proper torque level for your work.

CAUTION: Make sure that the driver bit is

inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw

and/or driver bit may be damaged.

the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

CAUTION: Hold the tool rmly and exert care

when the drill bit begins to break through the

workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on

thetool/drillbitatthetimeofholebreakthrough.

CAUTION: A stuck drill bit can be removed

simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse

rotation in order to back out. However, the tool

may back out abruptly if you do not hold it rmly.

CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a

vise or similar hold-down device.

If the tool is operated continuously until

the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest

for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
