II. ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle (support
handle) supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
2) Hold power tools by insulated
gripping surfaces when per-
forming 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 opera-
tor.
3) Wear a dust mask, if the work
causes dust.
4) Be aware that this tool is always
in an operating condition, since it
does not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet.
5) If the bit becomes jammed, im-
mediately turn the main 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 main switch is on. The
battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.
7) Use only a dry, soft cloth for
wiping the unit. Do not use a damp
cloth, thinner, benzine, or other
volatile solvents for cleaning.
8) When storing or carrying the tool, set
the Forward/Reverse lever to the
center position (switch lock).
9) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor
stops. The protection circuit will ac-
tivate and may prevent speed con-
trol operation. If this happens, re-
lease the speed control trigger and
squeeze again for normal operation.
