GENERAL SAFETY RULES |
(For All 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 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.Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec- trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insula-
tion 
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
2
5.Avoid body contact with grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8.When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
Personal Safety
9.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.
10.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.
11.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12.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.
13.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
Tool Use and Care
15.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.
16.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.
17.Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18.Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
21.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser- viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
22.Use only accessories that are recom- mended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
3
SERVICE
23.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main- tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24.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.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num- ber, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES |
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to screwdriver safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool 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.Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
3.Hold the tool firmly.
4.Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5.Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation: they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

CAUTION:
???Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Depth adjustment
The depth can be adjusted by turning the locking sleeve. Turn it in ???A??? direction for less depth and in ???B??? direction for more depth. One full turn of the locking sleeve equals 1.5 mm (1/16???) change in depth.
Adjust the locking sleeve so that the distance between the tip of the locator and the screw head is approximately 1 mm (3/ 64???) as shown in the figures. Drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material. If the depth is still not suitable for the screw, continue adjusting until you obtain the proper depth setting.
