2. General Safety Instructions

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

2.1. Work Area Safety

• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.2. Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

2.3. Personal Safety

• Always wear eye protection. Use safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection when necessary.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
• Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece. This is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

5.3. Changing Rotation Direction

• The forward/reverse switch is typically located above the trigger.
• Push the switch to the left for forward (clockwise) rotation, suitable for drilling.
• Push the switch to the right for reverse (counter-clockwise) rotation, used for removing screws or freeing a jammed drill bit.
• Ensure the drill is completely stopped before changing the direction of rotation.

5.4. Selecting Drilling Mode

• The mode selector switch is usually located on the top or side of the drill body.
• Drilling Mode (Drill icon): For drilling in wood, metal, plastic, and other soft materials.
• Impact Drilling Mode (Hammer icon): For drilling in masonry, concrete, and other hard materials. This mode adds a hammering action to the rotation.
• Always select the appropriate mode for the material you are working with.
