2. Hold power tools by the 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.
3. When working with the power tool,
always hold it rmly with both hands and
provide for a secure stance. The power tool
is guided more securely with both hands.
4. Keep the cord and charger from heat to
prevent damage to the housing or internal
parts.
5. Secure the workpiece. Clamping
devices or a vise will hold the workpiece in
place better than the hand.
6. Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleum-
based products, etc. to come in contact
with plastic parts. These materials contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.
7. Always wait until the machine has
come to a complete stop before placing it
down. The tool insert can jam and lead to
loss of control over the power tool.
8. Always set the direction-of-rotation
switch to the center (locked) position
before performing any kind of work on the
machine (e.g., maintenance, tool change,
etc.) and when transporting and storing it.
Unintentional activation of the On/Off switch
may result in personal injury.
9. Do not open the battery. There is risk of
a short circuit.
10. Protect the battery from heat and re.
There is risk of explosion.
11. Wear ear protectors when using the
cordless drill/driver. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
12. Use protective gloves when removing
the bit from the tool, or rst allow the
clamp to cool down. The bit may be hot
after prolonged use.
13. Use protective gloves when operating
the tool. Protective gloves can help to keep
you from being burnt and hurt.
14. Keep your hands away from the motor-
housing vents. Hot gas comes from the
vents during operation.
15. Release the trigger immediately when
a screw is tightened to avoid breaking the
screw.
16. For best results, your battery tool
should be charged in a location where the
temperature is more that 41°F (5°C) but
less that 122°F (50°C). Do not store outside
or in vehicles.
DANGER:
People with electronic
devices, such as pacemakers, should
consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment
in close proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.
WARNING:
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
