plugs with grounded power tools.  
Unmodified plugs and matching out-  
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
Safety equipment such as dust mask,  
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or  
hearing protection used for appropri-  
ate conditions will reduce personal  
injuries.  
b.avoid body contact with grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,  
ranges and refrigerators. There is  
an increased risk of electric shock if  
your body is grounded.  
c.prevent unintentional starting.  
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-  
sition before connecting to power  
source and/or battery pack, pick-  
ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-  
ing power tools with your finger on  
the switch or energizing power tools  
that have the switch on invites acci-  
dents.  
c.Do not expose power tools to rain  
or wet conditions. Water entering  
a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
d.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.  
d.Remove any adjusting key or  
wrench before turning the power  
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-  
tached to a rotating part of the power  
tool may result in personal injury.  
e.Do not overreach. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
This enables better control of the  
power tool in unexpected situations.  
e.When operating a power tool out-  
doors, use an extension cord suit-  
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord  
suitable for outdoor use reduces the  
risk of electric shock.  
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose  
clothing or jewelry. Keep your  
hair, clothing and gloves away  
from moving parts. Loose clothes,  
jewelry or long hair can be caught in  
moving parts.  
f. 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.  
g.If devices are provided for the con-  
nection of dust extraction and col-  
lection facilities, ensure these are  
connected and properly used. Use  
of these devices can reduce dust-  
related hazards.  
3. personal safety  
a.Stay alert, watch what you are do-  
ing 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.  
h.Only use safety equipment that  
has been approved by an appropri-  
ate standards agency. Unapproved  
safety equipment may not provide  
adequate protection. Eye protection  
must be ANSI-approved and breath-  
ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-  
b.use personal protective equip-  
ment. always wear eye protection.

proved for the specific hazards in the  
work area.  
g.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 differ-  
ent from those intended could result  
in a hazardous situation.  
4. power tool use and care  
a.Do not force the power tool. use  
the correct power tool for your ap-  
plication. The correct power tool will  
do the job better and safer at the rate  
for which it was designed.  
5. Battery tool use and care  
b.Do not use the power tool if the  
switch does not turn it on and off.  
Any power tool that cannot be con-  
trolled with the switch is dangerous  
and must be repaired.  
a.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 fire  
when used with another battery pack.  
c.Disconnect the plug from the  
power source and/or the battery  
pack from the power tool before  
making any adjustments, chang-  
ing accessories, or storing power  
tools. Such preventive safety mea-  
sures reduce the risk of starting the  
power tool accidentally.  
b.Use power tools only with specifi-  
cally designated battery packs.  
Use of any other battery packs may  
create a risk of injury and fire.  
c.When battery pack is not in use,  
keep it away from other metal ob-  
jects, like paper clips, coins, keys,  
nails, screws or other small metal  
objects, that can make a connec-  
tion from one terminal to another.  
Shorting the battery terminals togeth-  
er may cause burns or a fire.  
d.Store idle power tools out of the  
reach of children and do not allow  
persons unfamiliar with the power  
tool or these instructions to oper-  
ate the power tool. Power tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained  
users.  
d.under abusive conditions, liquid  
may be ejected from the battery;  
avoid contact. If contact acciden-  
tally occurs, flush with water. If  
liquid contacts eyes, additionally  
seek medical help. Liquid ejected  
from the battery may cause irritation  
or burns.  
e.maintain power tools. Check for  
misalignment or binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts and any  
other condition that may affect the  
power tool’s operation. If dam-  
aged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained power  
tools.  
6. Service  
a.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.  
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and  
clean. Properly maintained cutting  
tools with sharp cutting edges are  
less likely to bind and are easier to  
control.

16. Some dust created by power sand-  
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and  
other construction activities, contains  
chemicals known [to the State of Cali-  
fornia] to cause cancer, birth defects  
or other reproductive harm. Some  
examples of these chemicals are:  
• Lead from lead-based paints  
13.  
The battery charger gets  
hot during use. The  
charger’s heat can build  
up to unsafe levels and  
create a fire hazard if it does not  
receive adequate ventilation, due to  
an electrical fault, or if it is used in a  
hot environment.  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-  
ment or other masonry products  
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-  
cally treated lumber  
Do not place the charger on a flam-  
mable surface. Do not obstruct any  
vents on the charger. Especially  
avoid placing the charger on car-  
pets and rugs; they are not only  
flammable, but they also obstruct  
vents under the charger.  
Place the charger on a stable, solid,  
nonflammable surface (such as a  
stable metal workbench or concrete  
floor) at least 1 foot away from all  
flammable objects, such as drapes or  
walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a  
smoke detector in the area. Fre-  
quently monitor the charger and  
battery during use.  
Your risk from these exposures var-  
ies, 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. (California Health & Safety  
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)  
17.  
WaRnIng: Handling the cord on  
this product will expose you to lead,  
a chemical known to the State of  
California to cause cancer, and birth  
defects or other reproductive harm.  
Wash hands after handling. (Califor-  
nia Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,  
et seq.)  
14. This product is not a toy. Keep it  
out of reach of children.  
15. people with pacemakers should  
consult their physician(s) before  
use. Electromagnetic fields in close  
proximity to heart pacemaker could  
cause pacemaker interference or  
pacemaker failure. In addition, peo-  
ple with pacemakers should:  
• Avoid operating alone.  
18. The warnings, precautions, and in-  
structions discussed in this instruction  
manual cannot cover all possible con-  
ditions and situations that may occur.  
It must be understood by the operator  
that common sense and caution are  
factors which cannot be built into this  
product, but must be supplied by the  
operator.  
• Do not use with power switch locked  
on.  
• Properly maintain and inspect to  
avoid electrical shock.  
• Any power cord must be properly  
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter-  
rupter (GFCI) should also be imple-  
mented – it prevents sustained elec-  
trical shock.

vibration may cause temporary or  
permanent physical injury, particularly  
to the hands, arms and shoulders. To  
reduce the risk of vibration-related  
injury:  
SaVE THESE  
InSTRuCTIOnS.  
gROunDIng  
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regu-  
larly or for an extended period should  
first be examined by a doctor and  
then have regular medical check-  
ups to ensure medical problems are  
not being caused or worsened from  
use. Pregnant women or people  
who have impaired blood circulation  
to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-  
vous system disorders, diabetes, or  
Raynaud’s Disease should not use  
this tool. If you feel any medical or  
physical symptoms related to vibra-  
tion (such as tingling, numbness, and  
white or blue fingers), seek medical  
advice as soon as possible.

InCORRECT gROunDIng  
WIRE COnnECTIOn:  
Check with a qualified  
electrician if you are in doubt  
as to whether the outlet is  
properly grounded. Do not  
modify the power cord plug  
provided with the tool. never  
remove the grounding prong  
from the plug. Do not use the  
tool if the power cord or plug  
is damaged. If damaged, have  
it repaired by a service facility  
before use. If the plug will not  
fit the outlet, have a proper  
outlet installed by a qualified  
electrician.  
2. Do not smoke during use. Nico-  
tine reduces the blood supply to the  
hands and fingers, increasing the risk  
of vibration-related injury.  
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the  
vibration effects on the user.  
grounded Tools: Tools with Three  
prong plugs  
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration  
when there is a choice between dif-  
ferent processes.  
5. Include vibration-free periods each  
day of work.  
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while  
still keeping safe control of it). Let  
the tool do the work.  
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool  
as explained in this manual. If any  
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use  
immediately.  
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Re-  
quired” have a three wire cord and  
three prong grounding plug. The  
plug must be connected to a properly  
grounded outlet. If the tool should

cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-prong  
plug.)  
2. Double insulated tools may be used  
in either of the 120 volt outlets shown  
in the preceding illustration. (See  
Outlets for 2-prong plug.)  
2. The grounding prong in the plug is  
connected through the green wire in-  
side the cord to the grounding system  
in the tool. The green wire in the cord  
must be the only wire connected to  
the tool’s grounding system and must  
never be attached to an electrically  
“live” terminal. (See 3-prong plug  
and Outlet.)  
Extension Cords  
1. Grounded tools require a three wire  
extension cord. Double Insulated  
tools can use either a two or three  
wire extension cord.  
2. As the distance from the supply outlet  
increases, you must use a heavier  
gauge extension cord. Using exten-  
sion cords with inadequately sized  
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,  
resulting in loss of power and pos-  
sible tool damage.  
3. The tool must be plugged into an  
appropriate outlet, properly installed  
and grounded in accordance with all  
codes and ordinances. The plug and  
outlet should look like those in the  
preceding illustration. (See 3-prong  
plug and Outlet.)  
(See Table a.)  
3. The smaller the gauge number of the  
wire, the greater the capacity of the  
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord  
can carry a higher current than a 16  
gauge cord. (See Table a.)  
Double Insulated Tools: Tools  
with Two prong plugs  
4. When using more than one exten-  
sion cord to make up the total length,  
make sure each cord contains at  
least the minimum wire size required.  
(See Table a.)  
5. If you are using one extension cord  
for more than one tool, add the  
nameplate amperes and use the sum  
to determine the required minimum  
cord size. (See Table a.)  
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do  
not require grounding. They have  
a special double insulation system  
which satisfies OSHA requirements  
and complies with the applicable  
standards of Underwriters Labora-  
tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard  
Association, and the National Electri-  
6. If you are using an extension cord  
outdoors, make sure it is marked with  
the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to  
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor  
use.

allowing the bit to stop and helping  
to prevent damage to the screw, bit,  
or workpiece. The larger the screw,  
the more torque is applied before the  
clutch slips. Unless when drilling,  
always start with a lower number to  
help prevent damage. This Cordless  
Drill/Driver also has torque settings  
between the screws to allow a great-  
er range of control.  
10. Lubricate the Drill Bit with cutting oil  
(not included) when drilling iron or  
steel. Use a coolant (not included)  
when drilling nonferrous metals such  
as copper, brass, or aluminum.  
11. Insert the fully charged Battery Pack  
into the Handle of the Drill/Driver.  
12. The Direction Lever (38) allows you  
to change the rotational direction of  
the Drill/Driver. For a clockwise rota-  
tion, move the Lever forward. For a  
counterclockwise rotation, move the  
Lever back. The center position locks  
the Trigger (61), to prevent the Drill/  
Driver from operating.  
Drill Setting (  
):  
This setting essentially prevents the  
clutch from slipping entirely. It is de-  
signed for drilling, but is not advised  
for using a screwdriver bit because it  
offers no protection against stripping  
the head or splitting the wood.  
CauTIOn: never attempt to change  
rotational direction while Chuck is  
rotating.  
13. Hold the Cordless Drill/Driver firmly  
with both hands, as torque from the  
Motor can cause the tool to twist.  
5. To use the screwdriver function, in-  
sert the Bit Adapter into the Chuck as  
detailed in Step 1. Insert the required  
screwdriver bit into the Bit Adapter.  
14. Operate Drill by squeezing Trigger.  
The speed of can be controlled by  
varying the pressure on the Trigger.  
6. Set the drilling torque by turning the  
Torque Control (6) so that it lines up  
with the Arrow on the center top of  
the Cordless Drill/Driver.  
15. If the clutch starts slipping before the  
screw is in all the way, stop the drill,  
put the Direction Lever in the center  
position and change the torque set-  
ting. Reset the rotation direction be-  
fore continuing.  
7. When driving screws, start with a  
lower torque setting.  
16. If Drilling:  
8. When drilling in light gauge metal or  
wood, use a wooden block to back up  
Use the Drill torque setting, as de-  
scribed above.

of the tool with clean cloth.  
17. When you have drilled the hole,  
remove the Bit from the hole while  
the Cordless Drill is still running. This  
prevents the Bit from getting caught  
in the hole and causing damage.  
3. BEFORE EaCH uSE, inspect the  
general condition of the Cordless  
Drill/Driver. Check for misalignment
