Read the Safety Instructions booklet
and the following before using.
I . ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES
1) Be aware that this tool is always in an operat-
ing 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 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.
3) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn
the main switch off to prevent an overload,
which can damage the battery pack or motor.
Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
4) Do NOT operate the reversing lever and the
main switch is on. The battery will discharge
rapidly and damage to the unit may occur.
5) During charging, the charger may become
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, benzine, or
other volatile solvents for cleaning.
7) When storing or carrying the tool, set the
reversing lever to the center position (switch
lock).
8) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed
control trigger halfway (speed control mode)
so that the motor stops.
9) Do not operate the speed selector switch
(LOW-HIGH) while pulling on the speed con-
trol trigger. This can cause the rechargeable
battery to wear quickly or damage the inter-
nal mechanism of the motor.
10) Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appli-
ance.
11) Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods.
