Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply.
While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a
hazard to the operator.
If operating the power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to
supply the power to your tool.
GFCI and
personal protection devices like electrician’s
rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
r
esult in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
T
he term “power tool” in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.

Safety Rules for Drivers
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand
or against your body is 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.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool.
Secure the material being fastened. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to
bind causing loss of control and injury.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
i
nstructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
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.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly
mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.

Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side.
A spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Some dust created by
p
ower 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.

EVERSING SWITCH LEVER
The reversing switch lever is located above the
trigger switch and is used to reverse rotation of
the bit.
To use driver in "Forward" rotation, move lever
to left side of tool. To "Reverse" the rotation of
the bit move the lever to the right side of the
tool. The center position of the lever is the
"Lock-OFF" position.
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool comes to
a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the
chuck can cause damage to the tool.
BELT CLIP
Your tool is equipped with a belt clip that allows
you to conveniently attach your driver to your
belt. This feature will allow you to have both
hands free when climbing a ladder or moving to
another work area.
!
WARNING
1. Support the tool so that steady, even
pressure is applied to the screwdriving bit.
Operate the trigger switch by depressing with
one or two fingers.
2. Lock the tool on for continuous operation.
The bit will not rotate until the clutch is
engaged.
3. Place a drywall screw on the bit. The
magnetic bit holder will hold any steel drywall
screw without any additional assistance.
4. Press the screw point against the drywall
with steady even pressure. At this point, the
clutch will engage, driving the screw to the preset depth. Once the screw bottoms out, a
ratcheting sound will be heard for a second.
5. When properly set, the screw head should
pull into the drywall paper without cracking or
tearing the paper, then release slightly below
flush with the drywall board. In this manner,
minimum work is left when spackling screw
heads and taping the seams.
6. If it becomes necessary to remove a screw,
either adjust the nose piece to expose the bit
tip or remove the nose piece to expose the bit
tip , reverse the direction of rotation (when the
motor is in the "OFF" position.) Place the bit tip
into the screw, switch tool "ON" and apply
pressure to engage the clutch and remove
screw. When finished, press the nose piece
back into place or re-adjust the depth. Set
lever back to forward while the trigger switch is
in the “OFF” position.
