Remove battery pack before changing
accessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery
inserted are in the operative condition.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when
“seating” or removing a fastener. The
screwdriver housing may tend to twist in the
opposite direction of bit rotation when
“seating” or removing a fastener depending
on the torque setting of the tool.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. When installing an accessory,
insert the shank of the bit well within the
chuck. Be sure the chuck has locked onto
the bit correctly.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when
the screwdriver is switched off. Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools
equipped with shut-off clutches are not
designed for drilling applications. The clutch
can shut off automatically and without
warning.
Be careful when driving long screws –
there is a risk of sliding off the fastener
head depending on type of socket or bit
used. First test the run-down of a fastener
and pay attention during the screw driving
process to ensure you do not injure yourself
if the tool bit or socket slides off of the
fastener.
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
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 and cement and
other masonry products, and
• 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
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
