RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The operator should pay particular and additional
attention to these points in order to reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
■
Injury to hearing – Wear suitable ear protection and limit
exposure.
■
Injury to sight – Wear protective eye shields or goggles
when using the product.
■
Injury caused by vibration – Limit exposure and follow
the instructions on risk reduction in this manual.
■
Electric shock after contact with hidden wires – Hold the
product only by insulated surfaces.
■
Injury caused by dust – Dust created by operating the
product can cause respiratory injury. Wear appropriate
dust control mask with filters suitable for protecting
against particles from the material being worked on.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
MODE SELECTION
The product features electronic speed control. Press the
mode selection button to change the performance of the
product to suit your application.
Changing the speed on an impact wrench also affects
the torque. For small fasteners, use speed 1. For a
better control with mid-sized fasteners, use speed 2. For
maximum speed and power when driving large fasteners,
use speed 3.
*AutoStop is a mode programmed to prevent overtightening
and damage to the fastener or work surface. In this mode,
the product will automatically shut off after it has impacted
on the fastener.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product
is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
■
When servicing, use only original replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.

plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt and carbon dust.
■
Do not, at any time, let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
■
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by an authorised service centre.
