Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool acci-
dentally.
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 together
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 recom-
mended 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.

RULES
RULES
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting tool may con-
tact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also 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 con-
trol trigger is on.
The battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.
5) If the bit becomes jammed, imme-
diately turn the Variable speed con-
trol 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.
8) During charging, the charger may
become slightly warm. This is nor-
mal. Do not charge the battery for a
long period.
