illustrations, and speci fi cations provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
IMPACT WRENCH SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory 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. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the product. Use protective clothing, such as dust
mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet, and
ear defenders.
The dust produced when using the product may be harmful to
health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection
mask.
Do not use the product near any materials that present a
danger to health.
Turn o
ff the product immediately if the insertion tool stalls. Do
not turn on the product again while the insertion tool is stalled,
as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive
force. Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
● The insertion tool is tilted in the workpiece to be machined.
● The insertion tool has pierced through the material to be
machined.
● The product is overloaded.
Do not reach into the product while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
● when changing products
● when setting the product down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the product is
running.
When working on walls, ceiling, or
fl oor, take care to avoid
electric cables and gas or water pipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
product.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse
or by burning them. MILWAUKEE distributors o
ff er to retrieve
old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only M12 System chargers for charging M12 System
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers, and store them
only in dry rooms. Keep battery packs and chargers dry at all
times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme
load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery
acid, wash it o
ff immediately with soap and water. In case
of eye contact, rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and
immediately seek medical attention.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury,
and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse
your tool, battery pack, or charger in
fl uid or allow fl uid to fl ow
inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing
products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The cordless impact wrench can be used to tighten and loosen
nuts and bolts wherever no mains connection is available.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
DRIVE CONTROL
The drive control button is used to adjust the rotation
speed (RPM) for the application.
In Auto Shut O ff Mode, the product drives forward at a
reduced RPM until the torque is achieved.
In reverse, the product operates at full RPM to remove
fasteners at full torque.
OPERATION
NOTE: After fastening, always check the torque with a
torque wrench.
The fastening torque is a ff ected by a wide variety of factors
including the following:
● Battery charge - When the battery is discharged, the
voltage drops, and the torque fastening is reduced.
● Operating speed - Operating the product at low speeds
cause a reduction in torque fastening.
● Fastening position - Holding the product or the driving
fastener in various angles affects the torque.
● Drive accessory/socket - Using an incorrect accessory or
socket size, or a non-impact rated accessory may cause a
reduction in the torque fastening.
● Accessories and extensions - Depending on the accessory
or extension, fitment can reduce the fastening force of the
impact wrench.
● Bolt or Nut - Fastening torques may differ according to the
diameter, class, or length of the nut or bolt.
● Condition of the fastener - Contaminated, corroded, dry or
lubricated fasteners may vary the fastening torques.
● Condition and base material - The base material of the
fastener and any component in between the surfaces may
affect the fastening torque (dry or lubricated base, soft or
hard base, disc, seal, or washer between fastener and
base material).
IMPACTING TECHNIQUES
The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the tighter it
becomes.
To help prevent damaging the fasteners or workpieces, avoid
excessive impacting.
