• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• 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. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other battery pack may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidently occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes additionally, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Ensure switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tool with the switch on invites
accidents.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in a locked off position before making any adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Electric tools will overheat if they remain on when the tool motor is severely loaded, stalled or otherwise kept from rotating. Turn
tool off when this occurs. Continuing to power tool in this condition may result in heat, smoke or fire with injury or property damage.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool before storing tool or placing in a tool box or bag. Accidental starting while storing or
transporting may cause several hazardous conditions including an overheated tool. Uncontrolled tool operation may cause various
hazards including heat, smoke or fire.

smoke or fire with injury or property damage.
• The tool may overheat during continuous use or other severe duty cycles. Immediately stop operation and let the tool cool if any
part of the tool becomes too hot to touch or if there is any indication of smoke from the motor. Continuing to use the tool under these
conditions will cause tool damage and may result in injury or property damage from heat or fire.
• Immediately stop use and replace any battery that gets excessively warm in use or offers very short usage times. Typically these
batteries have a high number of charge/discharge cycles or may be old or damaged. Continuing to use an impaired battery may result in
injury or property damage from heat, fire or explosion.

• For reversible models, note the position of the reversing mechanism before operating. Knowledge of the direction of rotation helps in
maintaining control of the tool.
• Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not use hand (chrome) sockets or accessories. They may break in use and cause injury.
• Periodically check the drive end of the tool to make certain that the socket retainer functions correctly, and that sockets and drive
ends are not excessively worn. Either condition may allow the socket to come off when rotating.
