Impact Driver Safety

WARNING!

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where

the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Fasteners contacting a "live" wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an

electric shock.

a) DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool.

Ensure that operators are

qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions.

b) ALWAYS grip the tool firmly, DO NOT overreach, and ensure you won’t lose control.

Keep

secure footing whilst using an impact driver.

c) Battery chargers are for indoors use only.

Ensure that the power supply and charger are

protected against moisture at all times.

d) When using the impact driver, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield,

ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves.

If the work produces dust

wear respiratory protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of FFP2

is recommended. If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately and

review your method of use.

e) Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
f) Ensure that the impact driver bit or accessory is securely fixed in the bit holder.

Insecure

accessories can be ejected from the machine causing a hazard.

g) DO NOT exert pressure on to the tool.

To do so would shorten its service life.

h) If you are interrupted when operating an impact driver, complete the process and switch

off before looking up.

i) Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
j) Examine the bit holder regularly for signs of wear or damage.

Have damaged parts repaired

by a qualified service centre.

k) ALWAYS wait until the impact driver has come to a complete stop before putting it down.
l) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.
m) Only use bits and accessories, specifically designed for use with impact drivers.

Conventional bits and accessories may shear off during use, or be otherwise damaged,

potentially ejecting dangerous projectiles.

n) Ensure that fasteners are suitable for impact driver use.

Nuts, bolts and screws that are not

suitable for high torque application may be damaged.

o) Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk

factors.

If you are in any doubt as to the safe use of this tool, do not use it.
