SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to screwdriver safety rules. If you use this power
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.
