II. SPECIFIC
SAFETY RULES
1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
2) 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 gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hid
den wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
4) If the socket 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 sockets.
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.

WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
