SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
•
do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
electrical Safety
•
do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.
•
a battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
•
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack.
Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
•
dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and should be avoided.
•
avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the
battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
•
do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•
Use safety equipment. always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
•
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
•
do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•
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.
•
disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
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.
•
maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool’s operation. if damaged, have the tool serviced
before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•
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
•
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
•
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
•
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols.
wARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. (CCA)
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

SETTING THE TORQUE (FIGURE F)
This tool is fitted with a collar to set the torque for tightening screws. Large screws and hard
workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials. The collar has a wide range of settings to suit your application.
• Turn the collar (2) to the desired setting. If you do not yet know the appropriate setting,
proceed as follows:
• Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
• Tighten the first screw.
• If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved, increase the collar setting and
continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this setting
for the remaining screws.
Hints for optimum use
• Always use the correct type of screwdriver bit. Never use a screwdriver bit tip without a bit
tip holder
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small amount of washing liquid or soap as a
lubricant.
• Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to firmly tighten screws.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line with the screw.
