14) Do not use tool if switch does not
turn it on or off.
A tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
15) Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
16) Store idle tools out of reach of chil-
dren and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
17) When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals togeth-
er may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
18) Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edge are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
19) Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operations. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
20) Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
Service
21) Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a
risk of injury.
22) When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of shock or injury.
.SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an opera-
tion 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.
2) Wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise can cause hearing loss.
3) Be aware that this tool is always in
an operating condition, it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet.
4) Do not operate the Forward/
Reverse lever when the Variable
speed control trigger is on.
The battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.
5) If the bit becomes jammed, immedi-
ately turn the Variable speed control
trigger off to prevent an overload
which can damage the battery pack
or motor. Use reverse motion to
loosen jammed bits.
6) When storing or carrying the tool,
set the Forward/Reverse lever to
the center (switch lock) position.
7) Do not strain the tool by holding
the speed control trigger halfway
(speed control mode) so that the
motor stops.
