[. . . ] Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. â· Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. [. . . ] For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it. DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to drill safety rules. If you use this power tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the opeator. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. Drilling in wood When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece. â· Drilling in metal To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece. [. . . ] For European countries only Noise The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN60745-2-1: Sound pressure level (LpA): 77 dB (A) Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A) The noise level under working may exceed 85 dB (A). Vaibration The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN60745-2-1: Work mode: Driling into metal Vibration emission (ah, D): 2. [. . . ]
