SCREWDRIVING AND DRILLING ( 1/4" HEX SHANK BITS ONLY)
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in Safety Instructions.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting
but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT
TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce
10
jamming.
• Make sure switch turns tool on and off.
• Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small amount of washing liquid or soap as a
lubricant.
• Always hold tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line with the screw.
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold the tool firmly to
prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury.
SCRAPING
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Choose the correct blade type for the application. Use the claw blade for loose or flaking
paint. Use the flexible blade for soft adhesives. Use the rigid blade for hard adhesives.
• Push or pull the claw blade steadily over the surface of the material. Note that the blade
will not move until it is pressed against the material.
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
SANDING-GENERAL
• Use paper punch (22) to put holes in sandpaper to aid in dust collection when using a
vacuum.
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
• When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
• On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On
other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for
a smooth finish.
• Consult your retailer for more information on available accessories for sanding,
polishing, stripping and scrubbing.
WARNING: SANDING / SCRAPING LEAD BASED PAINT
Sanding/scraping of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of
controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical
analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding/scraping any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
• No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint
sanding/scraping is being done until all cleanup is completed.
• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The
filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
• Note: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should
be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware
dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent
ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the
work area where dust would settle on them.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils
thickness.
• Sanding/scraping should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the
duration of the sanding/scraping project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or
other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed
of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During cleanup, children and pregnant
women should be kept away from the immediate work area.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly
before being used again.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service
