CORDLESS DRIVER DRILL / IMPACT DRIVER DRILL
SAFETY WARNINGS
<DV18DA>
1. Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
<DS18DA / DV18DA>
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory or 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. During operation, make sure to fi rmly hold the tool's handle. Failure to do so may
result in injury.
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. 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.
6. 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.
7. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0°C–40°C. A temperature of less than
0°C will result in over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged
at a temperature higher than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20°C–25°C.
8. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for about 15 minutes before
the next charging of battery.
Do not charge more than two batteries consecutively.
9. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the battery.
10. Never disassemble the battery and charger.
11. Never short-circuit the battery. Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.
12. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
