Cordless Impact Wrenches
• Disassemble and inspect the tool every three 3 months if
the tool is used every day. Replace damaged or worn
parts.
• Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or de-
stroy plastic which could result in serious personal in-
jury.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and can be damaged by their use.
Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Disposal
• The disposal of this equipment must follow the legisla-
tion of the respective country.
• All damaged, badly worn or improperly functioning de-
vices MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF OPERATION.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications provided with this
product.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire, property damage and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
ify 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.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, 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.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• 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 in-
juries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
