ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR DRILLS
7
1. Do not use the drill in wet or damp conditions.
2. Always keep the work area free of tripping hazards.
3. When using the drill always ensure you are wearing protective safety equipment
including safety glasses/goggles, ear muffs, dust mask and other protective
clothing including gloves and apron.
4. Always check the work piece before operation and remove any obstructions such
as nails, staples, screws, string, rags, cloths and other debris.
5. Always use clamps or a vice to hold down and secure the work piece.
6. Before drilling ensure there is a suitable gap below the work piece to prevent the
drill bit from touching any obstacles.
7. Before drilling holes or screwing into walls ensure that you are not breaking into
any electricity, gas or water supply line, etc.
8. Never change the direction of the chuck rotation while the tool is still running.
Ensure the chuck has come to a complete stop before changing the rotation of
the drill.
9. Do not lay the tool down unless the tool is switched off and the chuck has come
to a complete stop.
10. Keep hands and other body parts well away from the work area whilst the tool is
in use.
11. Keep hand well away from the under side of the work piece during use.
12. Do not use your hand to remove any dust, chips or other waste while the tool is in use.
13. Do not touch the drill bit after operation. The bit can be HOT to touch and may
cause burn injuries.
14. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting accessory 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.
Over Charging Protection
This feature ensures that the battery (5) is never overcharged. When the battery (5)
has reached its full charge capacity the charger will shut off protecting the internal
components of the battery (5) from being damaged.
Over Discharge Protection
The battery (5) includes an over discharge protector. This feature stops the battery (5)
from discharging beyond the recommended lowest safety voltage.
Over Heat Protection
The battery (5) has an internal thermal cut-out device that stops the charging cycle if
the battery (5) becomes hot during the charging process. This thermal cut-out device
also stops the battery (5) from operating should the battery (5) become too hot during
the operation of the tool. This can happen when the tool is overloaded or being used
for extended periods of time.
Up to 30 minutes cooling time may be required depending on ambient temperature
and the operation being performed.
