I. ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES
1) Wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
) 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 screwing or driving into walls, floors,
etc., “live” electrical wires may be encoun-
tered. DO NOT TOUCH THE HEX QUICK
CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the
plastic handle to prevent electric shock in
case you screw or drive into a “live” wire.

od.
6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the
Forward/Reverse lever to the center posi-
tion (switch lock).
7) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed
control trigger halfway (speed control
