OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be
hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and possibly shock the operator. If you
must drive a screw where hidden wires may be
present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation
to prevent a shock to the operator,
WOOD AND METAL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
wood or metal drilling. Begin drilling at a very low speed to
prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.

WARNING:
This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
may contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other

Wood drilling
 Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
 When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind
the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on
the back side of the hole.
Metal and Steel drilling
 Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure
will:
• Overheat the drill;
• Wear the bearings;
• Bend or burn bits; and
• Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
 When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil
to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals
with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove
any of its components. Batteries must be recycled
or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both
terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as
short circuit may result. Keep away from children.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result
in fire and/or serious injury.
