Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation.
Use firm pressure while driving in, but do not press too hard.
Too much pressure will not help the process and will cause the bit
to overheat, may cause the bit to bend or break, cause undue strain
on the tool, and may damage the bit or work piece. Pressing too
hard may stall the motor.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool.
Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.
Place the switch in the locked or ‘OFF’position before making any
assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool. When
the bit become jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the tool
could crush your hand or leg.
If the bit becomes bound in the work piece, release the trigger
immediately, reverse the direction of rotation and slowly press the
trigger to back out the bit. Be ready for a strong reaction torque.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull or
damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the work piece.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the bit.
When installing a drivers bit, insert the bit well within the jaws of
the chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip of the
jaws over the bit is reduced and the loss of control is increased.
Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area
must not allow access by children or bystanders to prevent injury
and distraction.
Do not operate the tool while carrying it at your side. A spinning
driver bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may
result.
Never attempt to open the product housing for any reason. If
the plastic housing of the product breaks open or cracks,
immediately discontinue its use, have it repaired by a technician.
