keep it away from other metal objects
like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects

make sure the work place is well ven-
tilated.

from the main body of the tool, replace
the battery pack cover immediately in
order to prevent dust or dirt from con-
taminating the battery terminals and
causing a short circuit.

charged before further use.
• If the tool is subject to a sudden
load during use that causes the
motor to lock up, the overdischarge
prevention sensor may be trig-
gered, and the battery low warn-
ing lamp may flash. The lamp will
stop flashing once you address the
cause of the motor’s locking up and
cycle the trigger.
• The battery protection feature
may activate when a high load is
abruptly placed on the motor, even
if ample battery charge remains.
In this case, both the battery low
warning lamp and LED light will
flash.
• If both the battery low warning lamp
and LED light flash, reduce the
force with which you are pushing on
the driver or, if using a drill driver,
adjust the speed switch to a lower
setting.
