IMPACT WRENCH SAFETY WARNINGS
■
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.
■
Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
■
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.
■
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
■
The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch
off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not switch on
the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so
could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the product stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is
between 0
˚ C and 40 ˚ C.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between
0
˚ C and 40 ˚ C.
■
The recommended ambient temperature range for the
charging system during charging is between 10
˚ C and
38 ˚ C.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
■
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to
flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
■
Ambient temperature range for battery during use is
between 0°C and 40°C.
■
Ambient temperature range for battery storage is
between 0°C and 20°C.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries

exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
