e ) Maintain power tools and accesories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified 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.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c ) 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 connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the 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.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury."
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (129 °C) may
cause explosion."
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Additional Safety Rules for Drill/Driver
Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to
•
noise can cause hearing loss.
•
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
•
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
accesory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accesory
contacting with a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
•
Hold tool firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the bottom around
the battery area or the auxiliary handle if provided.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
•
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
•
Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering and drilling operations cause chips to
fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
Bits, sockets and tools get hot during operation.
•
Wear gloves when touching them.
•
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by tool action may be harmful
to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra
cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
Accessories and tool may get hot during operation.
•
Wear gloves when handling them if performing heat
producing applications such as hammerdrilling and
drilling metals.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
