Specific Safety Rules
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its
side when not in use. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may
be easily knocked over.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read and understand all warnings and operating instructions before
using any tool or equipment. When using tools or equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury. Improper operation,
maintenance or modification of tools or equipment could result in serious injury and
property damage. There are certain applications for which tools and equipment are
designed. Black & Decker strongly recommends that this product NOT be modified
and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
