IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(For All Tools)

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFEREDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PERTY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO SONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don’t expose power tools to rain.
   Don’t use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
   Don’t let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

4. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place – out of reach of children.

5. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

6. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended.

7. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

8. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

9. DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

10. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

11. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

13. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

14. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

15. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.

16. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

17. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don’t operate tool when you are tired.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions ?hat may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
    Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don’t use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

19. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

20. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user – as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
   Be Sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.

2. Hold the tool firmly.

3. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

4. When drilling into walls, floors or wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT   TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool by the insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill into a “live” wire.

5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

6. Do not touch the drill bit or the work piece immediately after operation: they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Selecting action mode
For drilling, turn the change ring so that the red dot is aligned with the DRILL marking on the collar. If the change ring will not come all the way, grasp the chuck and turn the change ring again. Do not move the red dot beyond the DRILL marking.

For screw driving, turn the change ring so that the red dot is aligned with the SCREW marking on the collar. Do not move the red dot beyond the SCREW marking.

CAUTION:
If you use the tool when the red dot is not aligned with either marking, tool damage may result. Be sure to align properly with either marking before operation.

Installing side grip (auxiliary handle).
Screw the side grip on the tool securely.

Installing or removing drill bit or driver bit
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the bit.

To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by hand.
Place the chuck key in each of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten all three chuck holes evenly. To remove the bit turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.

Switch action
Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.

CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the trigger switch actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.

Reversing switch action
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Move the revers- ing switch lever to the “F” position for clockwise rotation or the “R” position for counterclockwise.

CAUTION:

• Always check the direction of rotation before drilling.
• Use the reversing switch only when the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stop may ruin the tool.

Drilling operation
Turn the change ring so that the red dot is aligned with the DRILL marking.

• Drilling in wood
  When drilling holes in the wood, use a wood drill with a guide screw. The guide screw makes it bore naturally by itself, so you do not need to apply any pressure to the tool.

• Drilling in metal
  To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a centerpunch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indentation and start drilling.

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION:

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break through.
  Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.

• Always grip the small workpiece firmly with a vise or a holding means.

• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However. the tool will pull away easily unless you hold it firmly before starting the tool.

Screwdriving operation
Turn the change ring so that the red dot is aligned with the SCREW marking. Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. When driving screws, start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually.

NOTE:

• When driving small screws, be careful not to damage the screw heads. Ease pressure on the tool as soon as the screws bottom out.
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
• When driving wood screws, pred rill Pilot holes to make driving easier and to pre- vent splitting of the work piece. See the chart.

Nominal diameter of wood screw (mm)| Recommended size of pilot hole (mm)
---|---
3.1 (1/8″)| 2.0-2.2 (5/64″-3/32″)
3.5 (9/64”)| 2.2-2.5 (3/32″-3/32″)
