sories must be used in compliance with these instructions. Using it for any other purpose may cause a risk
of danger for people and the environment.
• Only qualifi ed and trained operators should install, adjust or use the tool.
• For overhead work, wear a safety helmet.
• Direct the exhaust so as to minimize disturbance of dust in a dust-fi lled environment. Do not direct
exhaust air towards hands.
• Where dust or fumes are created, the priority shall be to control them at the point of emission.
• All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or suppression of airborne dust or fumes
should be correctly used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not free run tool with socket installed on tool.
• Do not splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not incinerate even if severely damaged or completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fi re. Toxic
fumes and materials are created when lithium ion batteries are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If
medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts.
• Contents of opened battery may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention.
• Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be fl ammable if exposed to spark or fl ame.
• Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a bat-
tery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
• Please note that changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
WARNING: Never modify the unit or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
CAUTION: Do not stare into LED light. Serious eye injury could result.
3) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another battery pack.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
4) ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR IMPACT WRENCHES
•
Use only impact rated accessory sockets and extensions recommended by Mac Tools. Inspect accessories
before use. Do not use cracked or damaged accessories. Do not use chrome sockets , hand sockets or any
other accessories not rated for impact use.
•
The tool’s power is controlled by the pressure exerted on the trigger, fi rmly grip the tool and squeeze the
trigger to operate.
•
Do not use sockets with excessive wear to the input or output drives. Periodically check the square drive
on the impact wrench. Make sure the socket, extension bar, or other attachment is securely fi tted before
operating tool.
