WARNING:
Know your impact
drill. Read the Owner’s Manual
carefully. Learn the tool’s applications
and limitations, as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire or serious injury.
WARNING:
Never use the drill in
“impact” mode unless a proper
masonry bit is installed and you are
drilling in concrete.
WARNING:
Always use safety
shield, hearing protection and dust
mask when operating the drill in
“impact” mode.
Wear eye protection. Use face or dust
mask along with safety goggles if operation
is dusty. Use hearing protection,
particularly during extended periods of
operation.
Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose
clothing.
Do not drill material too small to be
securely held.
Always keep hands out of the path of the
drill bit. Avoid awkward hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the path of the drill bit.
Secure workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to
hold the work when practical. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign
objects in the part of the workpiece to be
drilled.
To avoid injury from accidental starting,
always remove the plug from the power
source before installing or removing a drill
bit, accessory or attachment.
Do not install or use any drill bit that
exceeds 7” (175 mm) in length or extends
more than 6” (150 mm) beyond the chuck
jaws. They can suddenly bend or break.
Before starting the operation, jog the drill
switch to make sure the drill bit does not
wobble or vibrate.
Do not use fly cutters or multiple-part hole
cutters, as they can come apart or become
unbalanced in use.
Make sure the spindle has come to a
complete stop before touching the chuck or
attempting to change the drill bit.
Always make sure the chuck is tight and
the drill bit firmly tightened in the chuck
before starting drill.
