III.   SPECIFIC SAFETY 
RULES
1)   Wear  ear  protectors.   Exposure  to 
noise can cause hearing loss.
2)   Use auxiliary handles supplied with 
the  tool.  Loss  of  control  can  cause 
personal injury.
3)   Hold  power  tools  by  insulated  grip-
ping  sur   faces  when  performing  an 
operation  where  the  cutting  tool 
may contact hid  den wiring.
  Contact with a “live” wire will make ex-
posed metal parts of the tool “live” and 
shock the operator.
4)   Be aware that this tool is always in an 
operating  condition,  since  it  does  not 
have  to  be  plugged  into  an  electrical 
outlet.
5) 
If  the  bit  becomes  jammed, 
immediately  turn  the  trigger  switch 
off  to  prevent  an  overload  which  can 
damage the battery pack or motor. Use 
reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
6)  Do  not  operate  the  Forward/Reverse 
lever  when  the  trigger  switch  is  on. 
The  battery  will  discharge  rapidly  and 
damage to the unit may occur.
7)   W h e n   s t o r i n g   o r   c a r r y i n g   t h e   t o o l , 
set  the  Forward/Reverse  lever  to  the 
center position (switch lock).
8)   Do  not  strain  the  tool  by  holding  the 
speed  control  trigger  halfway  (speed 
control mode) so that the motor stops. 
The  protection  circuit  will  activate  and 
may  prevent  speed  control  operation. 
If  this  happens,  release  the  speed 
control  trigger  and  squeeze  again  for 
normal operation. 9)  
Be  careful  not  to  get  dust  inside  the 
chuck.
10)   D o   n o t   t o u c h   t h e   r o t a t i n g   p a r t s   t o 
avoid injury.
11)  Do  not  use  the  tool  continuously  for  a 
long period of time. Stop using the tool 
from time to time to avoid temperature 
rise and heat overload of the motor.
12)  Do not drop the tool.
13)  Wear  dust  mask,  if  the  work  causes 
dust.
14)  D u r i n g   c h a r g i n g ,   t h e   c h a r g e r   m a y 
become  slightly  warm.  This  is  normal. 
Do  NOT  charge  the  battery  for  a  long 
period.
