TOOL USE AND CARE – cont’d
_ Keep the tool and its handle dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum based products or
any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk
of fire, loss of control and deterioration
of the plastic components of the tool.
SERVICE
_ Tool service must be performed
only by qualified personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in
risk of injury.
_ When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.
WARNING: For your safety, do not
plug in your charger, charge the battery
or operate the tool until you have read
and understood this Owner’s Manual.
Always use safety goggles or other
suitable eye protection.
Always check to make sure the area
where screws are being driven does not
have any hidden wiring. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Do not drive screws or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is
unavoidable, remove all fuses or
disconnect all breakers feeding the work
area.
Secure the work piece in a vice or with
clamps. Never hold it in your hand or
across your legs. The rotating action of
the screwdriver may cause the bit to come
loose from the screw and cause injury.
Never carry the cordless screwdriver
with your finger on the switch. The tool
is always in an “ON” condition when the
battery is charged.
Never hold the body of the cordless
screwdriver near the switch while
changing screwdriver bits. Accidentally
touching the switch may start the tool and
possibly cause an injury.
Always use the correct shape of
screwdriver bit that matches the head of
the screw.
Always use the largest size screwdriver
bit that will properly fit into the head of
the screw.
Do not use worn or damaged
screwdriver bits. Worn or damaged
screwdriver bits will not drive the screw
properly and may jump out of the screw
head, causing possible injury.
Always insert the magnetic bit holder
fully into the collet. If not fully inserted,
the magnetic bit holder may jump out of the
collet and cause damage to the workpiece
or possible injury.
