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, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
   or fumes.
   c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
   Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never  modify the plug in any way. Do not use vanadate plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
   Unmade ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
   There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
   Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
   Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

CORDLESS DRIVER DRILL / COMBI DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety instructions for all operations
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
<DS18DD / DV18DD>
b) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Brace the tool properly before use.
This tool produces a high output torque and without properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Safety instructions when using long drill bits
a) Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Make sure that the area to be drilled is absolutely free of any hidden obstructions including electrical wiring, water, or gas pipes. Drilling into the aforementioned may result in electric shock or short circuit, gas leak or other hazards that can cause serious accidents or injuries.

2. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation. Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries. (Fig. 1)

3. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or vice is held more secure than by hand.

4. Setting up and checking the work environment. Check if the work environment is suitable by following the precaution.

5. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the rechargeable battery.

6. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and charger.

7. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.

8. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt, it may explode.

9. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted
   battery.

10. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the charger. Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock
    hazard or damaged charger.

11. When mounting a bit into the keyless chuck, tighten the sleeve adequately. If the sleeve is not tight, the bit may slip or fall out, causing injury.

12. When changing the rotational speed with the shift knob, confirm that the switch is off . Changing the speed while the motor is rotating will damage the gears.

13. The clutch dial cannot be set between the numerals “1, 5, 10 … 20” or the dots, and do not use with the clutch dial numeral between “20” and the line at the middle of the drill mark. Doing so may cause damage. (DS18DD only)

14. Always use this unit with clockwise rotation, when using it as impact drill. (DV18DD only)

15. Resting the unit after continuous work.

16. After use for continuous tightening wood screw works, rest the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the battery. The temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise if the work is started again immediately after battery replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.

17. The motor may stop in the event the tool is overloaded. In this should occur, release the tool’s switch and eliminate the cause of the overload.

18. The motor rotation may be locked to cease while the unit is used as drill. While operating the driver drill, take care not to lock the motor.

19. If motor is locked, immediately turn the power off . If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be burnt.

20. The use of the battery in a cold condition (below 0 degree Centigrade) can sometimes result in the weakened tightening torque and reduced amount of work. This, however, is a temporary phenomenon, and returns to normal when the battery warms up.

21. Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely installed, it may cause an injury while using.

22. To prevent the battery power consumption caused by forgetting to turn off the LED light, the light goes off automatically in about 10 seconds.

23. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could result in eye injury.

24. Always use the tool and the battery at temperatures between -5°C and 40°C.

25. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 0 – 40°C.
