Specific Safety Rules
1) 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.
2) Wear ear protection. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
3) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet.
4) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the trigger switch off to prevent an overload which can damage
the battery pack or motor. Use reverse to loosen jammed bits.
5) 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.
6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock).
7) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed control trigger halfway so that the motor stops.
8) Be careful not to get dust inside the chuck.
9) Do not touch the rotating parts to avoid injury.
10) Do not use the tool continuously for a long period of time. Stop using the tool from time to time to avoid
overheating of the motor.
11) Do not drop the tool.
Maintenance
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Keep tool dry, do not immerse in water.
