CORDLESS DRIVER DRILL / COMBI
DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
<DV18DBSL>
1. Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
<DS14DBSL / DS18DBSL / DV18DBSL>
1. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Make sure that the area to be drilled is absolutely free
of any hidden obstructions including electrical wiring,
water, or gas pipes. Drilling into the aforementioned may
result in electric shock or short circuit, gas leak or other
hazards that can cause serious accidents or injuries.
2. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation.
Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries.
3. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
4. Setting up and checking the work environment. Check
if the work environment is suitable by following the
precaution.
5. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
6. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
7. Never short-circuit
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
8. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
9. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased
as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too
short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted
battery.
the rechargeable battery.
10. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger. Inserting metal objects or infl ammables into the
charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock
hazard or damaged charger.
11. When mounting a bit into the keyless chuck, tighten the
sleeve adequately. If the sleeve is not tight, the bit may
slip or fall out, causing injury.
12. When changing the rotational speed with the shift knob,
confi rm that the switch is off . Changing the speed while
the motor is rotating will damage the gears.
13. The clutch dial cannot be set between the numerals "1,
4, 7 ... 22" or the dots, and do not use with the clutch dial
numeral between "22" and the line at the middle of the
drill mark. Doing so may cause damage.
14. Always use this unit with clockwise rotation, when using
it as impact drill.
15. Resting the unit after continuous work.
16. The power tool is equipped with a temperature
protection circuit to protect the motor. Continuous work
may cause the temperature of the unit to rise, activating
the temperature protection circuit and automatically
stopping operation. If this happens, allow the power tool
to cool before resuming use.
17. The motor may stop in the event the tool is overloaded. In
this should occur, release the tool's switch and eliminate
the cause of the overload.
18. The motor rotation may be locked to cease while the unit
is used as drill. While operating the driver drill, take care
not to lock the motor.
19. The use of the battery in a cold condition (below 0 degree
Centigrade) can sometimes result in the weakened
tightening torque and reduced amount of work. This,
however, is a temporary phenomenon, and returns to
normal when the battery warms up.
20. Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
21. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
Wipe off any dirt or grime attached to the lens of the LED
light with a soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the
lens.
Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result in
decreased brightness.
22. This product contains a strong permanent magnet in the
motor.
Observe the following adhering of chips to the tool
and the eff ect of the permanent magnet on electronic
devices.
○ Do not place the tool on a workbench or work area where
metal chips are present.
The chips may adhere to the tool, resulting in injury or
malfunction.
○ If chips have adhered to the tool, do not touch it.
Remove the chips with a brush.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
○ Do not use the tool in the vicinity of precision devices
such as cell phones, magnetic cards or electronic
memory media.
Doing so may lead to misoperation, malfunction or loss
of data.
