1. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using the AM ARROWMAX Mini Drill Pen. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, when operating the drill.
  • 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.
  • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
  • Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source, picking up or carrying the tool.
  • Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
  • Use the correct drill bit for the material. Forcing a bit can cause it to break or damage the material.
  • Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece stable. Holding it by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
  • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
  • Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation.
  • Only use with the specified USB-C charging cable and a compatible power source (5V).
