•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Do not use the tool in wet or damp conditions.
•
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised
to ensure that they don't play with the appliance.
Recommendations for the use of a residual current device
with a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.
•
Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses and/or face shield. It is also highly
recommended that you wear a dust mask, ear protection and padded gloves.
•
Hold the power tool with a firm grip. High reaction torque can briefly occur while
driving and loosening screws.
•
Secure the work piece. A work piece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice,
is held more secure than by hand.
•
One-handed operation is extremely dangerous. Hold the unit firmly with both
hands when operating the tool.
•
After installing the driver bit, pull lightly on the bit to make sure that it does not
come loose. If the bit is not installed properly, it can come loose during use,
which can be dangerous.
•
Use a bit that matches the screw.
•
Tighten the screw with the impact driver lined straight with the screw to prevent
the screw head from being damaged and to ensure the proper force is delivered.
•
Hold the power tool with a firm grip. High reaction torque can briefly occur while
tightening and loosening nuts and bolts.
•
Check that any socket to be used is not cracked or broken. Broken or cracked
sockets are dangerous.
•
If the ring securing the socket is damaged, the socket may come off during
use causing personal injury.
•
The torque delivered by the impact wrench depends on how long it is
applied, the size of socket and other factors such as the sate of the
battery (4) charge.
•
Use a torque wrench to check that the bolt has been tightened to the
appropriate level of torque.
