ADDITIONAL 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) When drilling into walls, floors,
etc., “live” electrical wires may be
encountered. DO NOT TOUCH THE
CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL
PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the
tool only by the plastic handle to
prevent electric shock in case you
drill into a “live” wire.
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.
10) 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.
11) Do not drop the tool.
