moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOl USE AND CARE
18. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
19. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
20. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the pow-
er tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
21. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
22. Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
23. keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
24. 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.
25. 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.
SERVICE
26. 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.
Screwdriver Safety Warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Do not use the power tool in locations where the ambient temperature may reach 4°C (39.2°F) or
exceed 40˚C (105˚F).
