the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
3) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns, or a fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of power
tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
3) Hold power tools by insulated grip­
ping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make ex-
posed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
4) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately
turn the trigger switch off to prevent an
overload which can damage the battery
pack or motor. Use reverse motion to
loosen jammed bits.
5) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse
lever when the trigger switch is on.
The battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.
6) When storing or carrying the tool, set
the Forward/Reverse lever to the center
position (switch lock).
7) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.
The protection circuit will activate and
may prevent speed control operation. If
this happens, release the speed control
trigger and squeeze again for normal
operation.
8) Be careful not to get dust inside the
chuck.
9) Do not touch the rotating parts to avoid
injury.
