DRILL/DRIVER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1) Safety Instructions for All Operations
a )
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fasteners may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
2) Safety Instructions When Using Long Drill
Bits
a )
Never operate at higher speed than the
maximum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
b )
Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece.
At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
c )
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can
bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in
personal injury .
d )
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
e )
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f )
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.
g )
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6) Service
a )
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b )
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
h )
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 persons 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 and accessories. 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.
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, 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.
h )
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a )
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
b )
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c )
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 burns or a fire.
