work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardoussituation.
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 unexpectedsituations.
5) 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 ismaintained.
Safety Instructions for All Operations
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearingloss.
• Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause
personalinjury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fastener 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 electricshock.
Safety Instructions When Using Long
Drill Bits
• 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 personalinjury.
• 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 personalinjury.
• 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 personalinjury.
Additional Safety Warnings for Drills
• Hold tool firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the auxiliary handle.
Loss of control can cause personalinjury.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss ofcontrol.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to
fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eyedamage.
• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool.
Tighten the side handle securely before use. Keep
a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to
operate this tool without holding it with both hands.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of
control. Breaking through or encountering hard materials
such as re-bar may be hazardous aswell.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear
gloves when touchingthem.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands
and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit
exposure by taking frequent restperiods.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicalsare:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face andbody.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearingloss.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in movingparts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
