WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from the product when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery
pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your
side, when installing or removing the battery pack,
and when installing or removing bits.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the tool
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
Li-ion battery packs are equipped with a high temperature
protection feature that automatically deactivates the tool
when it is overheated. To resume operation, allow the tool
to cool and then squeeze the trigger.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When the tool is forced or the motor is overloaded, the tool
will automatically shut off. To reset the tool, release the trigger
and resume operation. If the tool still does not resume opera-
tion, remove and reinsert the battery. Do not force the tool.
