Safety Rules for Cordless Screwdrivers
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring.
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Always turn off power to an electrical
circuit before working on anything that is
or could be in contact with it, and place a
note on the electrical panel to warn others
not to turn it on.
Failure to turn OFF the
power source prior to installation/removal of
cover plates or electrical products can result in
electrical shock, fires, permanent injury and/or
death.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist.
If this situation is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Battery tools are always in an operative
condition.
Be aware of the possible hazards.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool.
Secure the workpiece, never hold it in
your hand or across legs.
The drilling
action may cause you to lose control of the
workpiece and injury may occur.
When installing a bit, insert the shank of the
bit well within the collet.
If the bit is not inserted
deep enough, the grip of the collet over the bit is
reduced and the loss of control is increased.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side.
A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories.
Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
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.
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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
