8) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.

A careless action can

cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

1) 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.

Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4) 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.

5) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding

the power tool’s 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, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Read all safety warnings, instructions,illustrations and

serious injury.Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,such as in the

Power tools create sparks which may

ignite the dust or fumes.

3) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

2) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is earthed or grounded.

3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

5) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

6) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (GFCI) protected supply.

Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

Personal safety

1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or

A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemical: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

> Pre-drill the holes with a smaller diameter of the screw to be screwed.

> Hold the product perpendicular to the screw to be screwed in/out. Holding it at an angle

may cause slipping or jamming of the driver bit.

> Place the tip of the driver bit directly on the screw first and then switch the product on.

> Only apply as much pressure as necessary to keep the screw in place and the driver bit in

contact with the screw head. Too much pressure will cause damage to the screw head and

driver bit, too little pressure will cause the driver bit to slide away.

> Remove blocked and stuck screws by changing the rotational direction.
