5) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intend-
ed for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
2) Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
3) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
4) 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 burns, or a fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of power
tool is maintained.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, user must
read instruction manual.

SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hid-
den wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live"and
shock the operator.
2) Wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
can cause hearing loss.
3) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
4) Do not operate the Forward/Reverse
lever when the Variable speed control
trigger is on.
The battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.
5) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately
turn the Variable speed control trigger
off to prevent an overload which can
damage the battery pack or motor. Use
reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
6) When storing or carrying the tool, set
the Forward/Reverse lever to the center
(switch lock) position.
7) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.
8) During charging, the charger may
become slightly warm. This is normal. Do
not charge the battery for a long period.
