[. . . ] It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. Do not short the battery cartridge: (1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material. A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown. [. . . ] If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly. The fastening torque can be adjusted in 17 steps by turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer, and maximum when the m marking is aligned with the pointer. The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the number 1 to 16. the clutch is designed not to slip at the m marking. Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular application. Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. to start the tool , simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool. Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly. Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled. The lamp automatically goes out 10 ­ 15 seconds after releasing the trigger. nOTE: · Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination. Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you. Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work. Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. [. . . ] Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device. For European countries only Noise The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN60745: Sound pressure level (LpA): 73 dB (A) Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A) The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A). Vibration The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN60745: Work mode: drilling into metal Vibration emission (ah, D): 2. The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. [. . . ]
