loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit, use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
• To select forward rotation, push the
forward/reverse
slider (H1)
to the left.
• To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse
slider to the right.
• To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the
center position.
Drilling/screwdriving

forward/reverse slider (2)
.
• To switch the tool on, press the
variable speed switch (1)
. The tool speed depends on
how far you press the switch.
• To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.
Sawing

Sanding Lead Based Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling
the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant
women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical
analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal Safety
• No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is
being done until all clean up is completed.
• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter
should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
NOTE:
Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes
should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local
hardware dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent
ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the
work area where dust would settle on them.
Environmental Safety
• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils
thickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work
area.
Cleaning and Disposal
• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the
duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or
other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed
of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant
women should be kept away from the immediate work area.
