a) do not force the power tool. use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) 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.

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.
e) Maintain power tools. check

Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits, etc. in accordance

Specific Safety RuleS
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Fastener
contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
•
Wear ear protectors with impact
drivers.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss
.
•
use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform.
Holding the work
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not
cause a tripping or falling hazard.
Some
tools with large battery packs will stand
upright but may be easily knocked over
.
•
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from air vents.
Air vents often
cover moving parts in which these items
can be caught.
•
Hold tool firmly with two hands.
Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
•
Wear safety goggles or other eye
protection.
Hammering and drilling
operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles
can cause permanent eye damage.
•
Bits, sockets and tools get hot during
operation.
Wear gloves when touching
them.
•
Do not operate this tool for long periods
of time.
Vibration caused by tool action
may be harmful to your hands and arms.
Use gloves to provide extra cushion and
limit exposure by taking frequent rest
periods.
•
Wear appropriate personal hearing
protection during use.
Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
WaRNiNG:
Impact wrenches are not
torque wrenches. Do not use this tool for
tightening fasteners to specified torques.
An independent, calibrated torque
measurement device such as a torque
wrench should be used when under
tightened or over tightened fasteners can
lead to the failure of the joint.
