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 performing
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) I f t h e b i t b e c o m e s j a m m e d ,
immediately 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.
