age a workpiece or cause an injury.
• Make sure that the bit is inserted straight in the
screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be
damaged.
• Hold the tool only by the handle when perform-
ing an operation. Do not touch the metal part.

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
