Safety Instructions For Power Tools

9.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD for the charger. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accor- dance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck- ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel- ry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recom- mended. Wear protective hair cover- ing to contain long hair.

11.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eye- glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glass- es.

12.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It???s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13.DON???T OVERREACH. Keep prop- er footing and balance at all times.

14.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15.DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser- vicing and changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNIN- TENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.

17.USE RECOMMENDED ACCES- SORIES. Consult the owner???s manual for recommended acces- sories. The use of improper acces- sories may cause risk of injury.

18.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is dam- aged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount- ing, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING

UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don???t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

CHARGING SAFETY

1.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and warnings on the battery and charg- er before charging the battery.

2.CHARGE ONLY USING THE SUP-

PLIED CHARGER AND BAT- TERY. Do not use with other batter- ies, chargers or cordless equip- ment.

3.DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY OR

CHARGER TO WET OR RAINY CONDITIONS. Moisture greatly increases the risk of a shock haz- ard.

4.DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY POLES with any conductive materi- als. Touching any two poles at the same time causes a short condition and can cause sparks, electrical shock or fire.

5.DO NOT STORE BATTERY WITH

CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS.

Storing the battery in a box of screws or nails can cause shorting across the battery poles.

6.DO NOT THROW BATTERY IN FIRE. Combustion of some of the batteries??? component materials can cause toxic fumes and possible

explosion.

7.IF CHARGER LIGHT FAILS TO COME ON check the incoming power supply. If power source is okay, then the fuse inside the charger needs replacement. Charger should be serviced by a qualified electrical technician only.

8.CHARGER HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one prong is wider than the other). Do not attempt to modify the plug. Modifying the plug will result in a safety hazard and will void the warranty.

9.CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE AT 110-120 VOLTS.

Never try to plug into any circuit that is not 110-120 volts. Never modify or change the plug that is attached to the charger unit to attempt to plug into 220 volt. This can cause serious electrical damage to the unit, possible fire or explosion.

BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED

OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.

Consult your local Yellow Pages direc- tory under the category ???Recycling??? to locate a battery recycler in your area.

Initial Charging

The batteries in your new Cordless

Screwdriver/Flashlight Kit will not be fully charged when you receive it. To maximize

the storage capacity of the battery it should be completely discharged (turn the flash- light and screwdriver on and let them run until the batteries discharge), then fully recharge for 10-12 hours.

For optimal life span, completely discharge the battery after every use. Follow the instructions below to charge your battery

NOTE: The battery does not need to be removed from the tool in order to be charged.

1.Plug the adapter into an appropriate 110/120V outlet.

2.Plug the other end of wire with the pin plug into the receptacle on the base of the Screwdriver or Flashlight bat- tery pack (See Figure 2).

3.Let the battery charge for 10-12 hours. This will give the battery a full charge. DO NOT let the battery charge for more than 12 hours.

4.When charging is complete, unplug the pin plug from the battery pack, and unplug the adapter from the wall outlet. The accessory should be ready to use.

OPERATION

Inserting and Removing

Drivers and Sockets:

The hex end of the screwdriver bits fit into the hex opening on the end of the cordless driver. The bits can be inserted directly into the tool, or if additional extension is required, you can insert the bit extender first, then mount the bit on the end of the extension (See Figure 3).

When using the supplied sockets you will need to use the square drive adapter which is included. You can easily distin- guish this from the other drivers by the spring loaded detent ball on the square end. This helps to lock the socket into place on the end of the driver. Attach the socket to the adapter, then insert the adapter into the end of the driver tool.

Torque Setting

Turn the torque setting dial to the desired torque setting (See Figure 3). Line up the number on the torque dial with the small arrow embossed on the left hand side of the case. Torque setting ???1??? has the high- est torque, setting ???6??? the least. Use only the necessary amount of torque to avoid damaging the material you are driving into or the tool.

The driver has a maximum speed of 150 RPM.

OPERATION

Handle Position and Switch

The driver and flashlight are both jointed in the center to adjust to different types of use. Adjust the angle to whatever is com- fortable for the job to be done (See Figure

4.)

Lock Switch

Fwd/Rev Switch

Fig 4. Positioning the handle and switch location.

The driver has a two position rocker switch with forward and reverse. If you want to tighten a screw, push on the top of the switch to drive clockwise. To operate counterclockwise, push the bottom portion of the switch.

There is also a locking switch just above the forward/reverse switch. This allows you to lock the tool to prevent accidental use of the tool. You should always use the LOCK position when placing, removing or adjusting bits or when removing the bat- tery.

The flashlight has only a slider ON/Off switch on the top of the case.

Removing Battery From Tool

The battery can be removed by pressing on the two circular depressions at the end of the handle and pulling away from the tool. When reinstalling the battery, be sure the elongated end of the battery is aligned with the slots on the inside of the compart- ment. The battery will lock into position when fully inserted.

Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE

Operating Guides and Tips

Avoid overloading the driver. Always use a driver which matches the fas- tener you are trying to drive. Do not apply excessive pressure to the dri- ver while using. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease pressure immediately. If the driver stops abruptly or becomes blocked, release the switch at once.

Ensure the safety of the workplace.

Clear the work area of all parts and debris that may cause injury by flying objects. Securely fix the object to be fastened in a vise or otherwise clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold workpiece by hand.

Inspect the driver before use. Run the driver before using to ensure all parts are running smoothly and there are no abnormal sounds or sparks. If any defect is found, have unit serviced.

Know your worksite. Before driving fas- teners, check behind walls for wires, other electrical hazards, or plumbing.

Use accessories properly. Use the low- est possible torque setting when dri- ving fasteners. This will increase the life span of the driving bit and pre- vent damage to the fastener.

Maintenance

Your cordless power tool will give you hun- dreds of hours of operation time before ever needing service. The electrical com- ponents of this cordless drill are not user serviceable. Repair should always be undertaken by a qualified electrical repair technician.

Keep the drill free from dirt and grease. Always store it in a dry place, preferably in the case that is supplied.

The battery will require periodic recharg- ing, and eventually replacement after it has exceeded its recharge life (approximately 800-1000 recharge cycles). You will notice extended charging times or shortened operation time as the battery experiences more cycles. Battery must be recycled or

disposed of properly. Refer to the Grizzly

catalog for replacement batteries.

Disassembly and improper reassem- bly of this device can result in electri- cal shock danger. Always have this device serviced by an qualified elec- trical repair technician. Serious injury will result.
