[. . . ] 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. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. [. . . ] WARNING Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury. APPLICATIONS You may use this product for the purposes listed below: Drilling in all types of wood products (lumber, plywood, paneling, composition board, and hard board) 2 This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. English OPERATION Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates Drilling in metals Mixing paint WARNING Battery products are always in operating condition. Therefore, the switch should always be locked when not in use or carrying at your side. This product will accept Ryobi One+ 18 V lithium-ion battery packs and Ryobi One+ 18 V nickel-cadmium battery packs. WARNING Always remove battery pack from your drill when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, assembling or removing bits, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury. SWITCH TRIGGER See Figure 3. VARIABLE SPEED The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure. NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the switch during use. DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR (FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK) BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES Ryobi 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life. Under some operating conditions, these built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries. During some applications, the battery electronics may signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger and resume normal operation. NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid forcing the tool. If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion charger. The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger. Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation. [. . . ] Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure will: · Overheat the drill; · Wear the bearings; · Bend or burn bits; and · Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes. When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit, then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life. MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. [. . . ]
