SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(For All Tools)

WARNING:

WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE

THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND PERSONAL

INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don't expose power tools t o rain.

Don't use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

Don't let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

4. in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked-up place -

5.

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

6. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment t o do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended; for example, don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

7 . DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering t o contain long hair.

8 . USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

9. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it t o disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. your hand and it frees both hands t o operate tool.

11. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces- sories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by autho- rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

13. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, and when chang- ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

14. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking t o see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

15. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger on switch.

Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.

16. EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure t o use one heavy enough t o carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size t o use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.

If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool t o a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY t o the user

- as well as damage t o the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful t o the motor.

I Bit

To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the arrow and pull the bit out firmly.

NOTE :

If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve, the sleeve will not return to i t s original position and the bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the b i t according to the instructions above.

Switch action

To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed i s increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release the trigger t o stop.

CAUTION:

Before plugging in the tool, always check t o see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.

Reversing switch action

Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

*Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.

Operation

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head. Apply forward pressure t o the tool to the extent that the bit will not slip off the screw. Start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually. Release the trigger just as the screw bottoms out. The proper fasten- ing torque differs depending upon the kind or size of screws/bolts, the type of materials to be fastened, etc. Refer to the figure below for the relation between fastening time and wood screw size.

Use the proper b i t for the head of the screw/bolt that you wish to use.

.When fastening machine screws in a steel plate, the proper fastening torque can be obtained in an extremely short time (approx. 0.1 - 0.2 seconds). Turn the tool off as soon as the impact sound i s heard.

0

Hold the tool pointed straight a t the screw or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

.When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make driving easier and t o prevent splitting of the workpiece. The pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the wood screws in diameter.

.The size of wood screw which can be fastened with this tool may differ depending upon the type of material to be fastened. Always perform a test operation t o determine the size of wood screw.

.When fastening bolts or nuts, always perform a t e s t operation to verify the adequate fastening time for your bolt or nut. Excessive fastening torque may damage the bolt/nut or socket bit.
