Item 56567
10.
Have servicing performed by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.
11.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the power
tool or the battery pack except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
12.
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 Pack while charging.
Lithium Battery Safety Warnings
LITHIUM BATTERIES
STORE A LARGE AMOUNT
OF ENERGY AND WILL
VENT FIRE OR EXPLODE IF MISTREATED:
1. Keep Battery Pack dry.
2. DO NOT DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
TO THE BATTERY PACK:
•
Open
•
Drop
•
Short-circuit
•
Puncture
•
Incinerate
•
Expose to temperatures greater than 265°F.
3. Charge Battery Pack only according
to its Charger’s instructions.
4. Inspect Battery Pack before every use;
do not use or charge if damaged.
Safety Instructions for All Operations
1.
Wear ear protectors when Impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2.
Brace the tool properly before use.
This
tool produces a high output torque and without
properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of
control may occur resulting in personal injury.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory or fasteners
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.
4. Let bit cool before touching, changing
or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically
while in use, and can burn you.
5. If the drill bit jams, release the switch immediately;
drill torque can cause injury or break bit.
Safety Instructions When
Using Long Drill Bits
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
Silicosis Safety Measures
Masonry drilling on materials such as concrete
(which contains crystalline silica) can cause silicosis
(a serious lung disease), cancer and death. To
reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace
and prevent silicosis and silicosis-related deaths:
1. Conduct air monitoring to measure
worker exposures.
2. Use containment methods to control the hazard
and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
3. Practice good personal hygiene to avoid
unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
4. Wear washable or disposable protective
clothes at the work site. Shower and change
into clean clothes before leaving the work site
to prevent contamination of cars, homes and
other work areas. Avoid skin exposure.
