10) When storing or carrying the tool,

set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock).

11) Do not strain the tool by holding the

speed control trigger halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops.

12) Do not operate the speed selector

switch (LOW-HIGH) while pulling on the speed control trigger. This can cause the rechargeable battery to wear quickly or damage the in-ternal mechanism of the motor.

I. INTENDED USE

These tools can be used to tighten screws in clutch mode and to drill holes in wood and metal in drill mode. Read the Safety Instructions booklet and the following before using. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Use auxiliary handle supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when per-forming 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. Wear a dust mask, if the work causes dust. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. When drilling or driving into walls, floors, etc., “live” electrical wires may be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH

THE CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL

PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock in case you drill or drive into a “live” wire. If the bit becomes jammed, im-mediately turn the trigger switch off to prevent an overload, which can damage the battery pack or motor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits. Do NOT operate the For-ward/Reverse lever when the trigger switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur. WARNING
