Work Area

1.Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci- dents.

2.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.

3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4.A battery operated tool with integral bat- teries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suit- able for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

5.Use battery operated tool only with specif- ically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create 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 moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

7.Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

8.Avoid accidental starting. 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 bat- tery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

9.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left 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 mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection 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. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

13.Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate 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 posi- tion 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 children 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 con- nection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

18.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

19.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.

20.Use only accessories that are recom- mended 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 main- tenance performed by unqualified personnel 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.

1.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a ???live??? wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool ???live??? and shock the operator.

1. Switch trigger

???When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.

???When you charge a battery cartridge from a just operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in a location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long time, let it cool off. Then re-insert it and try to charge it once more.

???When you charge a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period, sometimes the charging light will go out soon. If this occurs, remove the battery cartridge and re-insert it. If the charging light goes out within one minute even after repeating this procedure a couple of times, the battery cartridge is dead. Replace it with a new one.

Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)

If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will switch into its ???trickle charge (maintenance charge)??? mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1.Charge the battery cartridge before completely dis- charged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the battery car- tridge when you notice less tool power.

2.Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3.Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10??C - 40??C (50??F - 104??F).

Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

NOTE:

???Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

???When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece. See the chart.

???If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

MAINTENANCE

Drilling operation

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer points to the marking. Then proceed as follows.

Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indentation and start drilling.

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION:

???Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

???There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.

???A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.

???Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold- down device.

???If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

CAUTION:

???Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
