SAFETY RULES
1) Wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
2) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
3) When screwing or driving into walls, floors,
etc., "live" electrical wires may be encoun-
tered. DO NOT TOUCH THE HEX QUICK
CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the
plastic handle to prevent electric shock in
case you screw or drive into a "live" wire.

tery will discharge rapidly and damage to
the unit may occur.

slightly warm. This is normal.
Do NOT charge the battery for a long peri-
od.
6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the
