do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Excessive force only causes
operator fatigue, increased wear and reduced control.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
f) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: pa-
per 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
g) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control.
h) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
i) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your mod-
el. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
j) Use the right tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
5. SERVICE
a) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
b) 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 electric shock or injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES - FOR CORDLESS DRILLS
WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3) Wear ear protectors with impact (hammer) drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
4) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition because it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
5) Always hold the tool with both hands. If the bit jams, two hands will give you maximum
control over torque reaction or kickback.
6) Disconnect battery pack from the tool or place switch in the “LOCKED” or “OFF”
position before making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
7) Secure material before cutting. Never hold it in your hand or across your legs.
8) Always wear eye protectors when using tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for ap-
plications which generate dust.
