GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS
• Hold 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.
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
• Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully.
Learn its 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.
• Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
• Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
• When servicing a power tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery
tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or
heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use
a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery
immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of
ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence
of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
