GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAFETY
WARNING
: Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work Area
(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
(2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
(1) Double Insulated tools 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 change the
plug in any way. Double Insulation
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
(2) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
(3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
(4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug
from a receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
(5) When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use 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.

(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair , clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
(3) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
(4) 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.
(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear protective grasses. Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or ear plugs must be used for appropriate conditions.
4. Tool Use and Care
(1) 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 lose of control.
(2) 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.
(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
(4) Disconnect the plug form the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hand of untrained users.
(6) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
(7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
(8) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazard-
ous when used on another tool.

HOW TO USE THE SCREW DRIVER
1. Switch operation and rotational speed adjustment
Bit rotational speed can be regulated between 0 – 2600/min (W6VB2) or 0 – 1700/
min (W8VB) varying the degree by which the trigger switch is pulled. Rotational
speed increases as the trigger switch is pulled, and reaches a maximum speed
of 2600/min (W6VB2) or 1700/min (W8VB) when the trigger switch is pulled
fully.
T o facilitate continuous operation, pull the trigger switch and depress the switch
stopper. The switch will then remain ON even when the finger is removed. By
pulling the trigger switch again, the switch stopper is disengaged and the switch
is turned OFF when the trigger switch is released.
2. Screw driver operation
When the switch is turned ON, the motor starts to run but the hex-socket (or the
bit) does not rotate. Attach the hex-socket to the screw head groove, and push
the screw driver against the screw. The hex-socket then rotates, tightening the
screw.
CAUTION
Ensure that the screw driver is held truly perpendicular to the head of the screw.
If held at an angle, the driving force will not be fully transferred to the screw,
and the screw head and/or hex-socket will be damaged. Hex-socket rotation
stops when pushing force is released.
3. Direction of hex-socket rotation
The hex-socket rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) when the reversing switch lever is set to the “R” side position. When the lever is set to the “L”
side position, the hex-socket rotates counterclockwise, and can be used to loosen
and retract screws.
CAUTION
Never change the direction of hex-socket rotation while the motor is running.
To do so would seriously damage the motor. Turn the power switch OFF before
changing the direction of hex-socket rotation.
