3/8" DRILL
WARNING: Know your drill. DO NOT plug in the
drill until you have read and understand this Instruction
Manual. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
WARNING: Always wear eye protection. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause
permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles
(not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break.
WARNING: Always use a safety shield, hearing
protection, and dust mask when drilling concrete.
1. DO NOT drill material too small to be securely held.
2. Always keep hands out of the path of the drill bit. Avoid
awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the path of the drill bit.
3. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the
workpiece. It is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
4. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
5. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always remove
the plug from the power source before installing or
removing a drill bit.
6. DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 7" (17.5
cm) in length or extends more than 6"(15 cm) beyond
the chuck jaws. They can bend or break suddenly.
7. Before starting the operation, jog the drill switch to
make sure the drill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
8. DO NOT use fly cutters or multiple-part hole cutters,
because they can come apart or become unbalanced
during use.
9. Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop
before touching the chuck or attempting to change the
drill bit.
10. Always make sure the chuck is tight and the drill bit
firmly tightened in the chuck before starting drill.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is the proper size.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table at
right shows the correct size to use according to cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools.
This circuit must not be less than 14 gauge wire and
should be protected with either a 15A time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool
to the power source, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the power source is the same as
indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower voltage
will damage the motor.
WARNING: Repair or replace damaged or worn
extension cords immediately.
Select the appropriate extension cord gauge and length
using the chart below.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the
working area. Position the cord so it will not get caught
on the workpiece, tools, or any other obstructions while
you are working with the power tool.
