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 elec-
trical outlet.
3) Hold power tools by insulated
gripping surfaces when perform-
ing 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 bit becomes jammed, im-
mediately 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 tem-
perature rise and heat overload of
the motor.
11) Do not drop the tool.

WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding, saw-
ing, 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 chemi-
cals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed
to fi lter out microscopic particles.
