using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
•
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safe performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
•
DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters.
•
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEY AND WRENCH. Form habit of checking
to see that key and adjusting wrench is removed from tool before
turning it on.
•
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool with finger on
the switch. Be sure the switch is off when charging.
•
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
•
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced
by authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on and off.
•
DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near flammable liquids or in
gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
•
When driving into walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be
encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL!
Hold the tool only by the insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric
shock if you drive into a live wire.

Additional Safety Instructions for
Cordless Drywall Screwdrivers
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.
CAUTION: Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over. When not in use,
place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard.
