• 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 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.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

Tools marked "Grounding Required" have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet
(See Figure A). If the tool should electrically mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
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.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordi-
nances. The plug and outlet should
look like those in Figure A.

Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation sys-
tem which satisfi es OSHA requirements and complies
with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Association and
the National Electrical Code. Double
Insulated tools may be used in ei-
ther of the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures B and C.

SERVICE

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed

repair person using only identical replacement
parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.

Expo-

sure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.

• Keep hands away from all cutting edges and

moving parts.

• Maintain labels and nameplates.

These carry

important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a

service facility for a free replacement.

• WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• 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
fi lter out microscopic particles.

WARNING

Improperly connecting the

grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from
the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug
is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
service facility before use. If the plug will not
fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualifi ed electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS

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. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
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. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required. 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 wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure

it is marked with the suffi x "W-A" ("W" in Canada)
to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired

and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualifi ed person before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,

excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury,

always unplug tool before attaching or removing
accessories or making adjustments. Use only
specifi cally recommended accessories. Others
may be hazardous.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury,

always use a side handle when using this tool.
Always brace or hold securely.

Adjusting the Side Handle Position

1. Loosen the side handle by unscrewing the side

handle grip until the side handle rotates freely.

2. Rotate the side handle to the desired position.
3. Tighten the side handle grip securely.

Setting the Depth Gauge

1. Press in the clamping lever.
2. Slide the depth gauge rod backward or forward

until it is set for the desired depth.

NOTE:

The drilling depth is the distance between

the tip of the bit and the tip of the rod.

3. Release the clamping lever.

WARNING

To prevent personal injury,

always remove the chuck key from the chuck
after each use.

Installing Bits into Keyed Chucks

Be sure that the shank of the bit and the chuck jaws
are clean. Dirt particles may cause the bit to line up
improperly. Do not use bits larger than the maxi-
mum recommended capacity of the drill because
gear damage or motor overloading may result. For
best performance, be sure that the bits are properly
sharpened before use.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Open the chuck jaws wide enough to insert a bit.

Allow the bit to strike the bottom of the chuck.
Center the bit in the chuck jaws and tighten the
jaws by hand to align the bit.

3. Place the chuck key into

each of the three holes
in the chuck, turning it
clockwise to tighten the
chuck securely.

N O T E :

N e v e r u s e a

wrench or means other
than a chuck key to tight-
en or loosen the chuck.

4. To remove the bit, insert

the chuck key into one of the holes in the chuck
and turn it counterclockwise.
