temperature above 265 °F may cause explo-
sion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
1. Safety instructions for all
operations
a. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
b. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal in-
jury.
c. Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without
properly bracing the tool during operation,
loss of control may occur resulting in personal
injury.
d. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, 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.
e. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoid-
able, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this worksite.
f. Always wear safety goggles or eye protec-
tion when using this tool. Use a dust mask
or respirator for applications which gener-
ate dust.
g. Use a metal detector to determine if there
are gas or water pipes hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for as-
sistance before beginning the operation.
Striking or cutting into a gas line will result in
explosion. Water entering an electrical device
may cause electrocution.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Hammer Safety Warnings
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Ser-
vice of battery packs should only be per-
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
h. Always use the side handle for maximum
control over torque reaction or kick-back.
Never attempt to operate this tool with one
hand. The slip clutch engages if you firmly
control the tool during a torque reaction or
kickback.
i. Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the ex-
posure time by taking frequent rest periods.
Vibration caused by hammer-drill action may
be harmful to your hands and arms.
j. Secure the material being drilled. Never hold
it in your hand or across legs. Unstable sup-
port can cause the drill bit to bind causing
loss of control and injury.
k. Disconnect battery pack from tool before
making any assembly, adjustments or chang-
ing accessories. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the tool ac-
cidentally.
l. 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.
m. If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece,
release the trigger 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.
n. Do not strike the bit with a handheld ham-
mer or sledgehammer when attempting to
dislodge a bound or jammed bit. Fragments
of metal from the bit could dislodge and strike
you or bystanders.
