SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
(1) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
(2) 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 of fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
(1) A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the supplied charger for the
battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
(2) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
(3) Lithium-ion batteries can rupture, ignite, or explode when exposed to high temperature environments e.g. in an area that is prone to
prolonged direct sunlight. Short-circuiting a Li-ion battery can cause it to ignite or explode and any attempt to open or modify the casing
or circuitry is dangerous.
(1) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
(3) Avoid accidental starting. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch invites accidents.
(4) Attach or remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
(5) Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
(6) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
(1) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
(2) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
(4) Place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tools.
(5) Switch the tool off before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
(6) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
(7) When the tool is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
(8) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
(9) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
(10) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
(1) This product is only serviceable by the original manufacturer. Any attempt to service the product yourself will void any warranty and
may cause the product to malfunction.
• Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
• ALWAYS wear ear protection when using the tool for extended periods
• NEVER place hands or other body parts near the drill bit or chuck during operation.
• NEVER touch or place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the tool's moving parts.
• Use correct tool. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
• NEVER use a power tool for applications other than those specified in the Instruction Manual.
• NEVER allow the tool to be operated by children, individuals unfamiliar with its operation or unauthorized personnel.

Important Safety Notes
1.0
• Keep all screws, bolts and covers tightly in place. Check their condition periodically.
• Do not use power tools if the plastic housing or handle is cracked. Cracks in the tool's housing or handle can lead to electric shock.
Such tools should not be used until repaired.
• Blades and accessories must be securely mounted to the tool.
• NEVER use a tool which is defective or operating abnormally. If the tool appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or
otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a CEL authorized service centre.
• Carefully handle power tools. Should a power tool be dropped or struck against hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed,
cracked, or damaged.
• Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection that meets the requirement of the latest revision of ANSI Standard.
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for supplied battery charger.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger and (2) product using battery.
3. To reduce risk of injury, charge only the POWERmini driver. Other types of batteries or products may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
4. Do not expose battery charger to moisture.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, do not pull by cord when disconnecting battery charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8. Only plug in to a safe power outlet in a safe location.
10. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a
qualified service centre.
11. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a qualified service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from receptacle before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Removing the
battery will not reduce this risk.
You must charge the battery before you can use the cordless driver. Before using the battery charger, be sure to read all instructions
and cautionary statements on it, the POWERmini driver and in this manual.
WARNING: Improper use of the battery or battery charger can lead to serious injury.
To avoid these injuries:
1. NEVER disassemble the battery.
2. NEVER incinerate the battery, even if it is damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.
3. NEVER short-circuit the battery.
4. NEVER insert any objects into the battery charger's air vents. Electric shock or damage to the battery charger may result.
5. NEVER charge outdoors. Keep the battery away from direct sunlight and use only where there is low humidity and good ventilation.
6. NEVER charge when the temperature is below 50°F (10°e) or above 104°F (40°e).
7. NEVER connect two battery chargers together.
8. NEVER insert foreign objects into the hole for the battery or the battery charger.
9. NEVER use a booster transformer when charging.
10. NEVER use an engine generator or DC power to charge.
11. NEVER store the battery or battery charger in places where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C).
12. ALWAYS operate charger on standard household electrical power. Using the charger on any other voltage may overheat and
damage the charger.

Note: The LED light
will flash when the
battery capacity is
too low and needs
charging, or when a
charging error is
encountered.

Warning: Only use the charger supplied
with this product. Do not attempt to charge
this product with any other charger nor
attempt to charge any other product with
this charger, as it can cause damage and
will invalidate your guarantee.
The battery requires 5 hours to charge
fully from flat.
To keep the battery in prime condition it
is best to charge the battery every 3
months if stored.
Never store the unit with a flat battery.
The unit should ideally be stored
between 10º C and 24º C (50º F and 75º
F).
Lithium-ion batteries can rupture,
ignite, or explode when exposed to
high temperature environments e.g. in
an area that is prone to prolonged
direct sunlight. Short-circuiting a Li-ion
battery can cause it to ignite or explode
and any attempt to open or modify the
casing or circuitry is dangerous.
The battery will not be damaged if it is
charged for longer than 5 hours, but it is
advisable not to leave it on for more than
48 hours, as this might shorten the battery
life.
