prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. 2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
Tool Use and Care 1. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. 2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. 3. Do not use the power tool if the trigger does not operate it.
areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location. 2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cordless Drill. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 3. When using the Cordless Drill, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands. 4. Hold the tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the Cordless Drill may contact hidden wiring.

Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker. GROUNDING WARNING! Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools With Two Prong Plugs 1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.) 2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See Figure B.) Extension Cords 1.

to prevent damage to the screw, bit, or workpiece. The higher the number, the more torque is applied before the clutch slips. Unless you are drilling, always start with a lower number to help prevent damage. This drill also has torque settings between the numbers to allow a greater range of control. Drill Setting ( ): This setting essentially prevents the clutch from slipping entirely.
Drill only as deep as necessary. Do not drill deeper than necessary into walls or other areas where you cannot identify any possible hazards behind the drilling surface. To reduce jamming as the Bit breaks through the workpiece, decrease the drilling pressure when the point of the Bit breaks through the workpiece. 14. When you have drilled the hole, remove the Bit from the hole while the Cordless Drill is still running. This prevents the Bit from getting caught in the hole and causing damage. 15.
