WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.

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 grounded power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

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.

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.

If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces 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 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 personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing 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.

Personal safety – cont’d
If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

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 tool’s 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 instructions,
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.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a

"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.

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.

Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.

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 burns or a
fire.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.

WARNING: For safety reasons, do not

plug in the charger, charge the battery or

operate the tool until this Owner’s Manual

has been read and understood.
Always use safety goggles or other suitable

eye protection.

Always check to make sure the area where
screws are being driven does not have any
hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and

could result in an electric shock to 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 in hand or across 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
finger on the switch. The tool is always "ON"
when the battery is charged.

Never hold the body of the cordless
screwdriver near the switch while changing
screwdriver bits. Accidentally touching the

switch may start the tool and possibly cause an
injury.

Always use the correct shape and size of
screwdriver bit that matches 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 insert the magnetic bit holder fully
into the collet. If not fully inserted, the magnetic

bit holder may jump out of the collet and cause
damage to the workpiece or possible injury.

WARNING: The nickel-cadmium battery is
an integral part of the tool. If it no longer
charges properly or is damaged, the tool and
battery must not be discarded as household
trash, burnt or thrown into water. The tool and
battery must be disposed of as hazardous waste
in accordance with all municipal requirements.

Do not incinerate a discarded battery. It can
explode in a fire.

Do not use an extension cord. Plug the
charger cord directly into an electrical outlet.

Charge the battery only with the charger
supplied with this cordless screwdriver.

Do not use the charger in wet or damp
conditions. It is intended for indoor use only.

Do not use the charger near sinks or bathtubs.
Do not immerse the charger in water.

Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge
of a table or counter or to touch hot
surfaces. The charger should be placed away
from sinks and hot surfaces.

Do not use the charger to charge any
batteries other than the cordless screwdriver
battery. Other batteries may explode.

Do not operate charger if cord or plug is
damaged. Replace damaged cord and plug

immediately.

Do not operate charger if it has received a
sharp impact, been dropped or otherwise

damaged in any way. Have a qualified
technician examine the charger and repair it if
necessary. Do not disassemble the charger.

For best results, charge the battery when the
temperature range of the battery and the work
area is 0–45° C (32–113° F).
