SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be aware of the high torque reaction when drilling especially
when drilling masonry.
DO NOT try to change any of the selector switches while the
motor is running. Doing so could damage the machine.
DO NOT attempt to modify the machine or its accessories in
any way.
DO NOT force the machine, let the machine do the work. This
will reduce the wear on the machine and cutter and increase its
efficiency and operating life.
Do not use this product with any attachment designed for mixing
mortar, concrete, or plaster. Or for any other type of mixing
operation.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR DRILLS
- If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
- Always switch off before you put the drill down.
- When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety
glasses or shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing
including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if the drilling
operation creates dust.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR THE BATTERY
PACK
1. The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition. You should charge the battery pack fully
before use.
2. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery pack
can explode in a fire.
3. A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur
under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This
does not necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack.
However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage comes
into contact with your skin wash the affected area quickly
with soap and water. If the leakage gets in your eyes flush
your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention. Inform the medical staff
that the liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
4. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the
plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks,
immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
5. Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or
toolbox or any other place where it may come into contact
with metal objects. The battery pack may be short-circuited
causing damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire.

CHARGING AND NEVER EXCEED THE CHARGING RATE
TIME, EXCEPT WHEN “CONDITIONING” A NEW BATTERY
Charging procedure
When charging a new NiCad battery it should be fully discharged
followed by a full charge for the charging rate for the battery as
stated in the product manual plus 30 minutes. This should then
be followed by a full discharge and a further full charge for the
charging rate for the battery as stated in the product manual
plus 30 minutes. This procedure will condition the battery and
equalise the cell voltages. Following this procedure will ensure
the optimum operation of the battery.
When repeatedly using the charger to charge a number of
batteries always allow the charger to cool down before charging
another battery. It is recommended that the cooling down period
