[. . . ] WARNING and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Read all safety warnings and instructions. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Work area safety Keep work area clean and well lit. [. . . ] Do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist. If you lose control and have the cord wrapped around your arm or wrist it may entrap you and cause injury. 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. 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. the drill body will tend to twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is rotating. Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit. Do not use the switch "Lock-ON" feature in situations where drill bit binding is likely. (For example: just before the bit is ready to break through the material, anytime when using a "Hole Saw", auger bits. ) When the bit binds, the drill's body will twist or kick-back in opposite direction and the release of the trigger "LockON" may be difficult. be aware of the location and setting of the switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch is locked "ON" during the use, be ready for emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by first pulling the trigger then immediately releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON" button. When installing a drill bit, insert the shank of the bit well within the jaws of the chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced and the loss of control is increased. When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged use. Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the drill before switching the tool "ON". Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking you or a bystander. Do not run the drill while carrying it at your side. A spinning drill bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result. IMPORTANT: Some of the following symbols may be used on your tool. Please study them and learn their meaning. [. . . ] Use of the "Lock-ON" button feature will provide a much easier operation. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as much of the brush face as possible is in full contact with the work. [. . . ]
