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, cement and other masonry products

• 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 dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand

all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well-lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated battery chargers are
equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the

need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system.

Use only the battery charger specified
for recharging the battery. This applies
to both battery-operated tools with
internal batteries and those with a
removable battery pack. A charger that

may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery.

Only use battery-operated tools with
their specifically designed battery pack.

Use of other batteries may create a risk of
fire.

Only use the charger in a standard
120 V, 60 Hz electrical outlet only.

Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is

increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.

Don’t expose charger to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the charger will

increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the charger or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating the charger outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W­A” or “W”. These cords are rated for

outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use the tool while
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. Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.

PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d

Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry.

Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
power switch is OFF before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack

with the switch ON or carrying tools with
your finger on the switch invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or

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 enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or another practical method
to secure and support the workpiece on
a stable platform. Holding the work by

hand or against your body is unsafe and
may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the 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 the tool if the power switch
does not turn ON or OFF. Any tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

Remove the battery and turn the switch
OFF before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of the tool starting
accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools can

be dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that are suitable

for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by
qualified personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow Maintenance instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

BATTERY OPERATED POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNING: For your safety, do not
plug in your charger, charge the battery
or operate the tool until you have read
and understood this Owner’s Manual.

Always use safety goggles or other
suitable eye protection.

Hold the tool by its insulated gripping
surfaces when driving screws in areas
where the screws may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
can shock the operator. Do not drive
screws or break into existing walls or other
blind areas where electrical wiring may
exist. If this situation is unavoidable,
remove all fuses or disconnect all breakers
feeding the work area.

Secure the workpiece in a vice or with
clamps. Never hold it in your hand or
across your legs. The rotating action of

the screwdriver may cause the bit to come
loose from the screw and cause injury.

Never carry the cordless screwdriver
with your finger on the ON/OFF switch.

The tool is always in an “ON” condition
when the battery is charged.

Never hold the body of the cordless
screwdriver near the ON/OFF switch
while changing screwdriver bits.

Accidentally touching the ON/OFF switch
may start the tool and possibly cause an
injury.

Always use the correct shape of
screwdriver bit that matches the head of
the screw.

Always use the largest size screwdriver
bit that will properly fit into the head of
the screw.

Do not use worn or damaged
screwdriver bits. Worn or damaged

screwdriver bits will not drive the screw
properly and may jump out of the screw
head, causing possible injury.

Always install the screwdriver bit or
magnetic bit holder fully into the collet.

If not fully inserted, the bit or magnetic bit
holder may jump out of the collet and cause
damage to the workpiece or possible injury.

Never attempt to open the battery for
any reason. If the housing of the battery

breaks or cracks and allows leakage
through the handle, immediately
discontinue use and do not recharge the
cordless screwdriver.

Do not charge the battery if the tool is
wet or shows any evidence of battery
leakage.

Minor leakage from the battery may occur
under extreme use, charging or
temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. If however, the outer

seal is broken and this leakage gets on
your skin, follow these steps:

1. Wash immediately with soap and
water.

2. Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.

3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
immediately with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
NOTE: The battery liquid is
20–35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.
