I. INTENDED USE
These tools can be used to tighten
screws in clutch mode and to drill
holes in wood and metal in drill
mode. Additionally, model EY7960
can be used to drill holes in soft
concrete and similar materials in
hammer mode.
Read the Safety Instructions booklet
and the following before using.
II. ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
1) Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
2) Use auxiliary handle supplied
with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
3) 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 operator.
4) Wear a dust mask, if the work
causes dust.
5) Be aware that this tool is always in
an operating condition, since it
does not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet.
6) When drilling or driving into walls,
floors, etc., "live" electrical wires
may be encountered. DO NOT
TOUCH THE CHUCK OR ANY
FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE
TOOL! Hold the tool only by the
plastic handle to prevent electric
shock in case you drill or drive into
a "live" wire.
7) 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.
8)
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.
9) During charging, the charger
may become slightly warm. This
is normal. Do NOT charge the
battery for a long period.
10) When storing or carrying the tool,
set the Forward/Reverse lever to
the center position (switch lock).
11) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway
(speed control mode) so that the
motor stops.
12) Do not operate the speed selector
switch (LOW-HIGH) while pulling
on the speed control trigger. This
can cause the rechargeable battery
to wear quickly or damage the
internal mechanism of the motor.
