3) Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed 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) When storing or carrying the tool, 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) Do not touch the rotating parts to 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) During charging, the charger may become slightly warm. This is normal. Do NOT charge the battery for a long period.

Some examples of these chemicals are: * Lead from lead-based paints * Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products * Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter the microscopic particles. - 5 -
