gEnERAL SAFEtY RuLES  
WARnIng! Read all instructions  
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,  
fire, and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed  
below refers to your line-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated  
(cordless) power tool.  
SAVe THeSe iNSTRUCTiONS  
1.  
Work area safety  
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.  
b. 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.  
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.  
Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
2.  
Electrical safety  
a. 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.  
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
b. 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.  
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.  
e. 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.  
3.  
personal safety  
a. 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.  
b.  
use safety equipment. Always wear AnSI-approved eye  
proection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions  
will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. ensure the switch is in the off-position before  
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in  
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
d. 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.  
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This  
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.  
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.  
g. if devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection  
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these  
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.  
4.  
power tool use and care  
a. 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.  
b. 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.  
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.  
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow people  
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.  
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools  
operation. if damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many  
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.  
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.  
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these  
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,  
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.

1.  
Service  
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified technician using only identical  
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is  
maintained.  
SpECIFIC SAFEtY RuLES  
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety  
information. if unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a  
replacement.  
2.  
3.  
Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.  
Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can  
grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both  
hands to resist starting torque.  
Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn  
off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.  
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways 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.  
7.  
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.  
Do not place the charger on a flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on  
the charger. Especially avoid placing the charger on carpets 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. Frequently monitor the charger and battery during use.

• Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit interrupter  
(GFCi) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.  
10.  
11.  
To reduce the risk of personal injury where the drill bit may contact hidden wiring,  
hold the tool by its plastic insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a “live” wire  
will make exposed metal parts of the Cordless Drill/Driver “live” and will shock the  
operator.  
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 and cement or other masonry products  
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber  
Your risk from these exposures varies, 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.)  
12.  
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual  
cannot cover all possible conditions 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.

gROunDIng  
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in  
electric shock.  
WARnIng  
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.  
grounded tools: tools with three prong plugs  
1.  
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong  
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. if

the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low  
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric  
shock. (See 3-prong plug and Outlet.)  
2.  
3.  
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside 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.)  
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 following illustration.  
(See 3-prong plug and Outlet.)  
3-prong plug and Outlet  
Outlets for 2-prong plug  
Double Insulated tools: tools with two prong plugs  
1.  
2.  
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 Laboratories, inc., the Canadian  
Standard Association, and the National electrical Code.  
(See Outlets for 2-prong plug.)  
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the  
preceding illustration. (See Outlets for 2-prong plug.)  
Extension Cords  
1.  
2.  
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can  
use either a two or three wire extension cord.  
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge  
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a  
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.  
(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.)

4.  
5.  
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make  
sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See table A.)  
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.)  
6.  
7.  
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.  
Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.  
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified  
electrician before using it.  
ꢀ.  
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet  
areas.

A higher setting equals more torque; therefore, position #1 (low torque) is  
appropriate for driving screws into wood without stripping the screw, but would  
not provide enough torque for drilling or driving into harder materials.  
(See Figure E.)  
Position #20 is indicated by a drill bit icon and should be used for drilling only.  
(See Figure E.)  
Drill Bit Selection  
1.  
2.  
Always use sharp drill bits. Sharp bits are less likely to bind when drilling.  
Use the proper drill bit for the job. There are many types of bits designed for  
specific purposes. Check the information on the bit’s packaging for proper  
usage.  
3.  
Do not use drill bits larger than the rated capacity of the Drill/Driver. Gear  
damage or motor overload may result.

ensure the safety of the work space. Clear the work area of all parts and debris  
that may cause injury by flying objects.  
Before drilling, clamp the object down securely. A poorly secured piece of  
material may result in personal injury and/or inaccurate drilling.  
When drilling in a light gauge metal or wood, use a wooden block (not included)  
to back up the material to prevent damage to the workpiece.  
Mark the center of the hole to be drilled with a center punch to give the drill bit a  
start and to prevent the bit from “walking.”  
Lubricate the drill bit with cutting oil (not included) when drilling iron or steel. Use  
a coolant when drilling nonferrous metals such as copper, brass, or aluminum.  
Grip the Drill/Driver firmly with both hands. Place the drill bit on the spot that is to  
be drilled.
