RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
Do not touch the chuck or metal housing
when drilling into a wall; grasp only the
insulated handle(s) provided on the tool.
33. INSPECT FOR and remove all nails from
lumber before drilling.
34. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not
operate tool while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.
35. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
36. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
37. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Review them
frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
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.
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.
25. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
26. INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY
and if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
authorized service center. Stay constantly
aware of cord location.
27. INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
28. KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a
clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products or
any strong solvents to clean your tool.
29. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing
and use common sense. Do not operate tool
when you are tired. Do not rush.
30. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual.
31. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service
center.
32. DRILLING INTO ELECTRICAL WIRING IN
WALLS CAN CAUSE DRILL BIT AND
CHUCK TO BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIFE.
The operation of any drill can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We
recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses
with side shields.
