charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc -
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
1. 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.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

Cordless impact wrench safety
warnings
1. 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.
2.
Wear ear protectors.
3. Check the impact socket carefully for wear,
cracks or damage before installation.
4. Hold the tool firmly.
5. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
6. Do not touch the impact socket, bolt, nut or the
workpiece immediately after operation. They
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
7. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
8. The proper fastening torque may differ
depending upon the kind or size of the bolt.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.
9. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.
