6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. 7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. 8.Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug -replace them im- mediately. 9. Do not operate charger if ithas received a sharp blow, been dropped, or other- wise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman. IO.Do not disassemble charger or battery cartridge; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. 11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempt- ing any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER AND TOOL 1.The Charger and the tool are specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt to charge any other cordless tool with this Charger. Do not attempt to charge the tool with any other charger. 2. Do not charge the tool when temperature is BELOW 10°C (50OF) or ABOVE 45OC (113OF). 3. Do not use charger in damp or wet locations. 4. Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC power receptacle. 5. Donot store the tool inlocations where the temperature may reach or exceed 5OoC (122OF). 6. Do not incinerate the tool even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The tool can explode in a fire. 7. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. 8. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations. 9. Hold the tool firmly. IO. Keep hands away from rotating parts. 1 1. 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 only by the plastic handle or plastic tool body to prevent electric shock if you drill into a "live" wire. 12. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 13. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. Charging Connect the charging plug to the charging connector, then plug in the charger to the power receptacle. Charging takes 3hours. CAUTION: The battery in your new tool is not fully charged. You will need to charge it before use. Do not operate the tool during charging. Overcharging more than 2 days consider- 1 ably shortens the battery service life. Always unplug the charger after completing the charge. Installing or removing driver bit CAUTION: When installing or removing the bit, be careful not to touch the trigger switch. To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by -Chuck kev 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. After use, return the chuck key to the strorage cavity on the tool. Holding tool When drilling a large diameter hole, hold the tool firmly with both hands. Switch action To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop. Reversing switch action This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Slide the revers- ing switch to the right for clockwise rota- tion or to the left for counterclockwise. Reversing switch CAUTION : Always check the direction of rotation before operation. .Use the reversing switch only when the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may ruin the tool. Drilling operation 0 Drilling in wood When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece. 0 Drilling in metal To prevent the bit from slipping when startinga hole, make an indentation with a center- punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indenta- tion 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 pres- sure 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 breakthrough. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece. .A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly, 0 Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down de...
