Be prepared for a reaction torque when “seating” or removing a fastener. The screwdriver housing may tend to twist in the opposite direction of bit rotation when “seating” or removing a fastener depending on the torque setting of the tool.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. When installing an accessory, insert the shank of the bit well within the chuck. Be sure the chuck has locked onto the bit correctly.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side. A spinning bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when the screwdriver is switched off. Rotating driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Be careful when driving long screws – there is a risk of sliding off the fastener head depending on type of socket or bit used. First test the
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
