POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNING
Read and understand all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet cond
itions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When opera
ting a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces t
he risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the in uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position be
fore
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or driver before turning the power tool on. A driver or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can redu
ce
dust related hazards.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the batte
ry pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, 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 hazardous situation.
8. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.

and could give the operator an electric shock.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING
1. Know your cordless Impact Driver. Do not plug in the charger or install the
battery in the tool until you have read and understand this Instruction Manual.
Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
2.
Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into
your eyes and cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not
glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
3. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury
when they break.
4. Always use hearing protection when operati
ng the Impact Driver.
5. Use only impact sockets and accessories that are designed for use with an Impact
Driver. Do not use chrome plated sockets and accessories. Chrome plated sockets
and accessories are designed for hand use only and MUST NOT be used with an
Impact Driver. They may shatter and possibly cause serious injury.
6. Before each use, check the Impact sockets and accessories for excessive wear or
cracks. Worn or
damaged sockets or accessories may shatter and possibly c
ause
serious injury. Worn accessories may allow the socket to come off during operation
of the Impact Driver.
7. After installing any accessory in the hex drive, pull outward on the accessory to
ensure it is properly installed and cannot be pulled out of the hex drive.
8. Never use the Impact Driver as a torque wrench. Always use a torque wrench to
adjust the fastener to the specfied torque.
9. Keep the Impact Driver handle and body clean and free of oil and grease. Always
use a clean dry cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents, brake fluid, gasoline or
other petroleum products to clean the tool. They will damage the tool.
10. Do not wear neckties or loose clothing.
11. When wearing gloves, they must be tight fitting and slip resistant type. Leather
gloves offer the best protection.
