• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, 
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 
to the State of California 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.
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. 
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, 
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. 
Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate 
for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection 
that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some 
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute 
to hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable 
surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. 
Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery 
pack but may be easily knocked over.
c) When battery pack 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. Shorting the battery terminals 
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, 
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek 
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 
irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 
person using only identical replacement parts. This will 
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Rules for Screwdrivers
•Hold 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.
•Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support 
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand 
or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of 
control.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. 
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are 
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is 
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
