SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.”

WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b . Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,  ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.  The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device  (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a  power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

i. Wear eye protection when operating this tool.
j. When using this product it is essential that the following rules for use are followed:
• When drilling it is common that the core/drill bit jams in the material being drilled. This will result in the drill trying to rotate around the drill bit and potentially come out of your grip. This product has a safety clutch mechanism. This safety clutch mechanism will be activated and stop the drive to the drill bit BUT only if you resist the initial forces caused by the jamming by securely holding the drill with both hands.
• ALWAYS ensure that the auxiliary handle is firmly affixed and secure.
• The auxiliary and main handle must be firmly held to resist any movement of the product when the core drill or drill bit becomes jammed.
• ALWAYS use this drill when standing on a firm and secure platform or the ground. (DO NOT USE ON  LADDERS OR STEPS.)
• NEVER start the product with the core or drill jammed in position.
• DO NOT stretch to hold the product. Do not drill above shoulder height or below knee height, as the product cannot be securely held.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY

a. Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).
b. Do not carry or store the battery together with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects.
c. Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
d. Do not solder directly onto the battery.
e. Do not expose the battery to water or salt water or allow the battery to get wet.

i. If you intend to store a battery for a period without use then store the battery at room temperature (19°C to  25°C), charged to about 30 – 50% of capacity. When storing for very long periods boost charge the battery once per year to prevent over-discharge.
The following information applies to professional users only but is good practice for all users:

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR CONSTRUCTION DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the risks associated with silica, wood, and gypsum dust. Construction workers are one of the at-risk  groups within this because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your  lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things like sand, sandstone, and granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The silica is broken into very fine dust (also known as Respirable Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as cutting,  drilling and grinding. Breathing in very fine particles of crystalline silica can lead to the development of Lung cancer Silicosis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder/Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)  And breathing in fine particles of wood dust can lead to the development of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is linked to people who regularly breathe construction dust over a period of time, not on the odd occasion.
To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on the amount of this dust that you can breathe  (called a Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL) when averaged over a normal working day. These limits are not a  large amount of dust: when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch of salt: This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe after the right controls have been used.
HOW TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DUST?

1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of building products. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a  block cutter instead of an angle grinder.
2. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a nail gun to direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling holes first.
3. Please always work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all times. For more information please see the HSE website: http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction or cis69 [PDF]

WARNING! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill, and other construction jobs contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
•  Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
•  Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce hand-arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a  power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS  IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
