SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Cordless screwdriver safety warnings

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
Hold the tool firmly.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
Always secure workpiece in a vise or similar hold-down device.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury

ASSEMBLY

Installing or removing driver bit

To install a driver bit, push it firmly into the driver bit holder. To remove the driver bit, pull it out of the driver bit holder

OPERATION

CAUTION: When bending the tool to use in the pistol shape or straightening to use in the straight shape, do not hold the bendable part of the tool. Failure to do so may cause your hand and fingers to be pinched and injured by this part.

The tool can be used in two ways; a straight shape and a pistol shape which are selectable according to the conditions of workplace and screwdriving.

Screwdriving operation

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Then switch the tool on. When the screw head and surface of the workpiece becomes flat, release the switch.
NOTICE: Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
NOTE: When driving wood screw, predrill a pilot hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier and prevents splitting of the workpiece.

Using the tool as a hand screwdriver

****Switch off the tool, and then turn the tool.
