•STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard
or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction

• CAUTION: When fastening into walls, floors or wherever live
electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY
METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by insulated
grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a
live wire.
• CAUTION: Remove battery pack before adjusting tool torque
setting.
CAUTION: Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over. When not in use,
place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard.
WARNING: 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 lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
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.
•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
