If the bit becomes bound in the
workpiece, release
immediately, reverse the direction of
rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to
back out the bit. Be ready for a strong
reaction torque. The drill body will tend to
twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is
rotating.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands
too close to the spinning chuck or drill
bit. Your hand may be lacerated.
When installing a bit, insert the shank of
the bit well within the chuck. If the bit is
not inserted deep enough, the grip of the
chuck over the bit is reduced and the loss of
control is increased. After bit insertion, pull
on bit to ensure it is locked.
Safety Rules for Cordless Hammer Drills
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
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 of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist.
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a dust
mask or respirator for applications which
generate dust.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest
periods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
Secure the material being drilled. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs.

Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
When removing the bit from the tool avoid
contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit or
accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Check to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the drill
before switching the tool "ON". Keys or
wrenches can fly away at high velocity
striking you or a bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at
your side. A spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to bind
causing loss of control and injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool before
making any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
or posts. Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the
tool could crush your hand or leg.
If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece,
release the trigger immediately, reverse the

Do not grasp the tool or place your hands
too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit.
Your hand may be lacerated.
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank
of the bit well within the jaws of the chuck.
If the bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip
of the jaws over the bit is reduced and the loss
of control is increased.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
