Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly mainta-
ined cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
Before any work on the machine (e.g., maintenance,
tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and
storage remove the battery, and set the rotational
direction switch to the center position. Unintentional
actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries.
The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in
the battery charger before using for the first time.
Read the operating instructions of the battery charger.
Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
The torque depends on the impact duration. The
maximum achieved torque results from the sum of all
individual torques achieved through impact.
Check the actually reached torque with a torque
wrench.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when
using it.
Symbols
The following symbols are important for reading and
understanding the operating instructions. Please take
note of the symbols and their meaning. The correct
interpretation of the symbols will help you to use the
machine in a better and safer manner.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Hold 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.
