General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety

warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or 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 safety1.

Keep work area clean and well lit. a.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

Do not operate power tools in b.

explosive atmospheres, such as in

the presence of ammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

Keep children and bystanders c.

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical safety2.

Do not expose power tools to rain a.

or wet conditions. Water entering

SKU 66118 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3

a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Personal safety3.

Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.

ing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired

or under the inuence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal

injury.

Use personal protective equip-b.

ment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropri-

ate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. c.

Carrying power tools with your nger

on the switch or energizing power

tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or d.

wrench before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper e.

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose f.

clothing or jewelry. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

Only use safety equipment that g.

has been approved by an appropri-

ate standards agency. Unapproved

safety equipment may not provide

adequate protection. Eye protection

must be ANSI-approved and breath-

ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-

proved for the specic hazards in the

work area.

Power tool use and care4.

Do not force the power tool. Use a.

the correct power tool for your ap-

plication. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the b.

Direction Buttons (33) do not turn

it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with its switch

must not operated until it is repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the c.

power source and/or remove the

Batteries (29) 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.

Store idle power tools out of the d.

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper-

ate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

Maintain power tools. Check for e.

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

SKU 66118 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

Use the power tool, accessories f.

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 differ-

ent from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care5.

Use Cordless Screwdriver only a.

with specically designated batter-

ies. Use of any batteries other than

“AA” 1.5V batteries may create a risk

of injury and re.

If Cordless Screwdriver will not be b.

used for an extended amount of

time, remove Batteries from bat-

tery chamber. This will prevent old

batteries from corroding inside the

tool.

Service6.

Have your power tool serviced by a.

a qualied repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Specic Safety Warnings

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles 1.

and heavy-duty work gloves during

use.

Position batteries in proper polarity 2.

and do not install batteries of differ-

ent types, charge levels, or capacities

together.

Inspect Cordless Screwdriver before 3.

every use; do not use if parts are

loose or damaged.

Use as intended only.4.

Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare 5.

to begin work before turning on the

tool.

not being caused or worsened from

use. Pregnant women or people

who have impaired blood circulation

to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-

vous system disorders, diabetes, or

Raynaud’s Disease should not use

this tool. If you feel any symptoms

related to vibration (such as tingling,
