. ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
1) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
2) When drilling or driving into walls, floors,
etc., “live” electrical wires may be encoun-
tered. 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.
3) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately
turn the main switch off to prevent an over-
load, which can damage the battery pack
or motor.
Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
4) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse
lever when the main switch is on. The
battery will discharge rapidly and damage
to the unit may occur.
5) During charging, the charger may be-
come slightly warm. This is normal. Do
NOT charge the battery for a long period.
6) Use only a dry, soft cloth to wipe the unit.
Do NOT use a damp cloth, thinner, ben-
zine, or other volatile solvents for cleaning.
7) When storing or carrying the tool, set the
Forward/Reverse lever to the center posi-
tion (switch lock).
8) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed con-
trol mode) so that the motor stops.
9) Wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods.
10) Young children should be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with appliance.
