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.

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.
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.

other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.

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.

Secure the material being fastened. Never
hold it in your hand or across your legs.
Unstable support can cause loss of control
and injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the

position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying appliances with your finger on the
switch or inserting the battery pack into an
appliance with the switch on invites
accidents.

Remove battery pack before changing
accessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery
inserted are in the operative condition.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when
“seating” or removing a fastener. The
screwdriver housing may tend to twist in the
opposite direction of bit rotation when
“seating” or removing a fastener depending
on the torque setting of the tool.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. When installing an accessory,
insert the shank of the bit well within the
collet. Be sure the collet has locked onto the
bit correctly.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when
the screwdriver is switched off. Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools
equipped with shut-off clutches are not
designed for drilling applications. The clutch
can shut off automatically and without
warning.
Be careful when driving long screws –
there is a risk of sliding off the fastener
head depending on type of socket or bit
used.
First test the run-down of a fastener

and pay attention during the screw driving
process to insure you do not injure yourself if
the tool bit or socket slides off of the fastener.
