II. GENERAL SAFETY

RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below

refers to your main operated (corded) power tool and battery operated (cordless) power tool.

2) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may

ignite the dust or fumes.

3) Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical Safety

1) 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.

2) 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.

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 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.

5) 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work Area Safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

- 6 -

Personal Safety

1) 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 personal injury.

2) 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.

3) 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 the power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

4) 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.

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

6) 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.

7) 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.

Power Tool Use and Care

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5) 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.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

7) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions 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.

2) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause

personal injury.

3) Hold power tools by insulated

gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live”

and shock the operator.

4) Be aware that this tool is always in an

operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical

outlet.

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

bits.

6) Do not operate the Forward/Reverse lever when the trigger switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur.

7) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the

The battery protection feature activates

immediately before the battery loses its

charge, causing the battery low warning lamp to ash.

●

If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing, charge the battery pack

immediately.

●

If it is started with too little battery power

remaining, the tool may stop operating without the battery low warning lamp ashing rst. This indicates that there is too little battery power remaining to use

the tool, and the battery pack should be

charged before further use.

●

If the tool is subject to a sudden load during use that causes the motor to lock up, the overdischarge prevention sensor may be triggered, and the battery low warning lamp may flash. The lamp will stop flashing once you address the cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle the trigger.

●

The battery protection feature may

activate when a high load is abruptly placed on the motor, even if ample battery charge remains. In this case, both the battery low warning lamp and LED light will ash (EY74A1).

●

If both the battery low warning lamp and LED light flash, reduce the force with which you are pushing on the driver or, if using a drill driver, adjust the speed switch to a lower setting (EY74A1).
