WEN 49036 3.6V Lithium Ion Cordless Screwdriver - Manual (Page 4)

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
live and shock the operator.
2. Use protective gloves when removing the bit from the tool, or first allow the clamp to cool down. The bit may
be hot after prolonged use.
3. Use protective gloves when operating the tool. Protective gloves can help to keep you from being burnt and hurt.
4. Keep your hands away from the motor-housing vents. Hot gas comes from the vents during operation.
5. Do not operate the tool at full-load for more than 30 seconds, as this can cause the motor to become too hot,
which may damage the motor.
6. Release the trigger immediately when the screws are tightened to avoid breaking the screw.
