ELECTRICAL SAFETY
!WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions before operating this drill/driver. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charging stand/transformer for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
1.Use battery operated drill/driver only with the specifically designated battery pack listed. Use of any other battery pack may create a risk of fire.
2.Use battery pack only with the specifically designated charging stand/transformer listed.
MODEL | TRANSFORMER | CHARGING STAND | BATTERY PACK |
172.10300 | (9.6V) | CDT109JU-48 (HD-DC12-200) | CDT109JU-49 | CDT109JU-50 (ABP309) |
172.10400 | (12.0V) | CDT112JU-48 (HD-DC15-200) | CDT112JU-49 | CDT112JU-50 (ABP312) |
3.Do not abuse the power cord on the charging stand/transformer. Never carry the charging stand/transformer by its power cord. Never pull the power cord to remove the transformer from the power outlet. Damage to the cord or charging stand/transformer could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

SERVICE SAFETY
1.If any part of this cordless drill / driver or charging stand/transformer is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way; or should any component fail to perform properly: have the missing, damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.
2.Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
3.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL / DRIVERS
1.Know your cordless drill / driver. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
2.BE SURE that twist drill bits, screwdriver bits and other accessory attachments are properly and securely mounted in the chuck jaws BEFORE operating the drill / driver.
3.ALWAYS carefully inspect the material you are going to drill/drive into. Drilling/driving into nails, pipes and electrical wires can cause serious personal injury.
4.HOLD DRILL / DRIVER by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing an operation where the tool may drill/drive into hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
5.NEVER hold the piece being drilled in your hands or across your legs.
It is important to support and clamp the workpiece properly in order to minimize body exposure, bit binding, or loss of control.
6.Maintain a firm grip on the drill/driver to resist starting torque.
7.Use sharp accessory bits only. For drilling in WOOD use twist drill bits, spade bits, or power auger bits. For METAL use high-speed steel twist drill bits. For MASONRY use carbide-tipped bits. For PLASTIC use low drilling speeds for material with a low melting point. For SCREWDRIVING use the proper size screwdriving bit for the screwdriving application such as Phillips, slotted and square recess bits.
8.BE SURE the material to be drilled is stationary, anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a back-up block to prevent damage to the material.
9.ONLY USE the specifically designated battery pack that was included with this drill / driver and charging stand / transformer. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
10.Cordless tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery operated tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
11.Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.
12.Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Never use a battery pack or charging stand/transformer that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
13.Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
