ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. check for misalign
-
ment or binding of moving parts, break
-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc
-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
5. SeRVIce
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali
-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
IV - Additional safety rules
for screwdrivers
▪ Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the driving
screws may contact hidden wiring. Contact with
a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
▪ Be aware that this tool is always in an operat
-
ing condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet. Always set the
trigger switch to the locked OFF position when
installing or removing the battery pack.
V - Additional safety rules
for charging
▪ Do not charge the tool in damp or wet environ
-
ment.
▪ Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged when
the air temperature is between 65ºF–75ºF
(18ºC–24ºC). DO NOT charge the battery pack
at air temperature below +40ºF (+4.5ºC), or
above +105ºF (+40.5ºC). This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the battery set.
▪ The charger and handle may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condi-
tion, and does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not cover the charger
and do not charge battery packs in direct sun
-
light, during hot weather or near heat sources.
▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
1. Move charger and power tool to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is ap-
proximately 65ºF–75ºF (18ºC–24ºC).
2. If charging problems persist, take or send the
tool with the battery pack and charger to your
local service centre.
▪ The battery pack should be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs, which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CON
-
TINUE to use under these conditions. Follow
the charging procedure. You may also charge
a partially used pack whenever you desire with
no adverse affect on the battery pack.
WaRNiNg:
Do not allow any liquid to
get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after
use, avoid placing the charger or the power tool
during hot weather in a warm environment such
as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
WaRNiNg:
Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic hous
-
ing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return
to a service centre for recycling.
▪ Always use correct SPARKY battery pack (the
one supplied with tool or a replacement pack
exactly like it). Never install any other battery
pack. It will ruin your tool and may create a haz
-
ardous condition.
Before attempting to charge your screwdriver,
thoroughly read all of the safety instructions.
