EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord
either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a
heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required
minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total
length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for
more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL/DRIVER
WARNING:
DO NOT LET COMFORT OR FAMILIARITY WITH PRODUCT (GAINED
FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO PRODUCT SAFETY RULES. If
you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces
•
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Do not leave the tool running.
•
• Be Aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an
electric outlet.
When operating the tool from an elevated position,
•
beneath you.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hands before switching the tool "ON".
•
reaction to the torque of the motor as it accelerates to full speed may cause the tool to twist.
Wear eye and hearing protection.
•
otherwise specified, everyday glasses provide only limited impact resistance, they are not safety glasses.
use only certified safety equipment; eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI z87.1 standards.
Protective hearing equipment should comply with ANSI s3.19 standards.
•
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask
will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Always disconnect battery pack from tool
•
before any assembly, adjustments or changing of accessories. following this instruction will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
