. GENERAL SAFETY

RULES FOR ALL

BATTERY OPER­ATED TOOLS

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

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 atmosp here s, such
as in the presence 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. Make sure that no one is
beneath, or on the other side of the
area when you are working.

Electrical Safety

4) A battery operated tool with integral

batteries or a separate battery pack
must be recharged only with the
specified charger for the battery.

A charger that may be suitable for

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

5) Use battery operated tool only

with s p e c ifically desig n a t e d
battery pack.

Use of any other batteries may cre-

ate a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

6) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.

A m oment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

7) D r e s s properly. D o not wear

loose clothing or jewelry. Contain
long hair.

Keep your hair, cloth ing, and

gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

8) Avoid acc ident al sta rting . Be

sure switch is in the locked or off
position before inserting battery
pack.

Carrying tools with your finger on

the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.

9) Remove adjusting keys or wrench­ es before turning the tool on.

A wrenc h or a key th a t is le f t

attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.

10) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enable

better control of the tool in unex­pected situations.

11) Use safety equipment. Always

wear eye protection.

Dust mark, non-skid safety shoes,

ha rd hat, or hea ring pr otect ion
must be used for appropriate con­ditions.

Tool use and care

12) Use clamps or other practical

way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.

Ho l di n g th e wo r k by ha n d or

against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

-

2 -

-

3 -

13) Do not force tool. Use the correct

tool for your application.

The correct tool will do the job

better and sa fer at the ra te for
which it is designed.

14) 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.

15) 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.

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.

16) Store idle tools out of reach of chil-

dren and other untrained persons.

Tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

17) 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 t e r m i n a l s

together may cause sparks, burns
or a fire.

18) Maintain tools with care. Keep

cutting tools sharp and clean.

Pr o perty mai n tained tools with

sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.

19) Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s opera­tions. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.

Ma ny accid ents ar e caused by

poorly maintained tools.

20) Use only accessories that are rec-

ommended by the manufacturer
for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable

for one tool may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.

Service

21) Tool service must be performed

only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed

by u n q ualif i e d pe r s o nnel may
result in a risk of injury.

22) 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 shock or injury.

. SPECIFIC SAFE-

TY RULES

1) Hold tool by insulated gripping

surfaces whe n performing an
operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a "live" wire will make

exposed metal parts of th e tool
"live" and shock the operator.

2) Wear ear protectors when using

the tool for extended periods.

Prolonged exposure to high intensity

noise can cause hearing loss.

3) Be aware that this tool is always
in an operating condition, it does

not have to be plugged into an elec­trical outlet.

4) D o not o p e r a t e the F o r w a r d /
Reverse lever when the Variable
speed control trigger is on.

The battery will discharge rapidly

and damage to the unit may occur.

5) If the bit becomes jammed, imme­diately turn the Variable speed
control trigger off to prevent an
overload which can damage the
battery pack or motor. Use reverse
motion to loosen jammed bits.

6) When storing or carrying the tool,
set the Forward/Reverse lever to
the center (switch lock) position.

7) Do not strain the tool by holding
the speed control trigger halfway
(speed control mode) so that the
motor stops.

8) D uring charging, the ch arger

may become slightly warm. This
is normal. Do not charge the bat­tery for a long period.

longer service life.

The ambient temperature range
is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C
(104°F).

If the battery pack is used when the

battery temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), the tool may fail to function
properly. In that case, charge the
battery until charging is completed
for appropriate functioning of the
battery.

Battery pack life

The rechargeable batteries have a
limited life. If operation time becomes
extremely short after recharging, replace
the battery pack with a new one.

3. During charging, the charging lamp
will light up.

When the charge is completed, an

internal electronic switch will auto­matically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.

Charging will not occur if the bat-

tery pack is warm (for example,
im m ediatel y aft e r heavy-d u ty
operation). The orange standby
lamp will light up until the battery
becomes cool. Charging will then
begin automatically.

4. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing
quickly.

5. When th e battery pack has not
be en used for a long tim e , the
charging lamp starts flashing slow­ly to indicate protective charging.
Protective charging takes longer to
fully charge the battery pack, than
the standard charging time. (Max.
charging time is approx. 90 min­utes.)

If a fully charged battery pack is

inserted into the charger again,
the charging lamp may light up.
After several minutes, the charging
lamp may flash quickly to indicate
the charging is completed.

6. If the charging lamp does not light
immediately after the charger is
plugged in, or if after the standard
charging time the lamp does not go
off, consult an authorized dealer.

Note: When a cold battery (of about

5°C (41°F) or less) is to be
charg ed in a warm room,
leave the battery in the room
for at leas t one hour and
charge it when it has warmed
up to room t emperature.
(Failing to do so may result in
less than a full charge.)

Cool down the charger when

charging more than two bat­terypacks consecutively.

Do not insert your fingers
