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 SAFE­

TY RULES

1) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to

noise can cause hearing loss.

2) Use auxiliary handles supplied

with the tool. Loss of control can

cause personal injury.

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

exposed metal parts of the tool

“live” and shock the operator.

) Be aware that this tool is always in

an operating condition, since it does

not have to be plugged into an elec-

trical outlet.

5) If the bit becomes jammed, imme-

diately turn the trigger switch off

to prevent an overload which can

damage the battery pack or mo-

tor. Use reverse motion to loosen

jammed bits.

6) 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.

7) When storing or carrying the tool,

set the Forward/Reverse lever to

the center position (switch lock).

8) Do not strain the tool by holding

the speed control trigger halfway

(speed control mode) so that the

motor stops. The protection cir-

cuit will activate and may prevent

speed control operation. If this hap-

pens, release the speed control

trigger and squeeze again for nor-

mal operation.

9) Be careful not to get dust inside the

chuck.

10) Do not touch the rotating parts to

avoid injury.

11)

Do not use the tool continuously for a

long period of time. Stop using the tool

from time to time to avoid temperature

rise and heat overload of the motor.

12) Do not drop the tool.

13) Do not put the tool on the place

where the chuck is depressed. The

bit may come off from the chuck

and fall down when the chuck is de-

pressed. It may cause injuries.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sand-

ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities con-

tains chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemi-

cals are:

* Lead from lead-based paints

* Crystalline silica from bricks and

cement and other masonry prod-

ucts

* Arsenic and chromium from chem-

ically-treated lumber.

To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safe-

ty equipment, such as dust masks

that are specially designed to filter

the microscopic particles.
