GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Tool Use and Care
■ Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting
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 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 appli-
cation. The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
■ 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.
■ Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
■ Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce 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 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
sparks, burns, or a fire.
Service
■ Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
■ When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.
DRILLING
See Figure 14.
END VIEW
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to
mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit
from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the
lower speed feature allows starting holes without center
punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your
drill at lower speed until the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
WARNING:
Fig. 14
Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these
situations occur, the 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 you are not
prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious
injury.
WARNING:
Do not force tool. Forcing tool can result in jamming and
loss of balance or footing, which could result in personal
injury.
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 workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch
trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and
determine the reason for jamming.
