[. . . ] Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. [. . . ] Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury. Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination. ⷠNever use gasoline or thinner to clean the lens of the lamp, or it will be damaged. CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool. The side grip cannot swing 360° when the depth gauge is installed. For rotation only, slide the action mode change lever to the left ( symbol). CAUTION: Always slide the action mode change lever all the way to your desired mode position. If you operate the tool with the lever positioned halfway between the mode symbols, the tool may be damaged. To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand. After using the chuck key, be sure to return to the original position. CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise securely at the desired position. The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where the depth gauge strikes against the tool body.
