IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Hold 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.
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
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
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.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■ Damage to hearing caused by noise
Wear suitable hearing protection and limit exposure.
■ Injury to the eyes
Wear protective eye shields or goggles when using the
product.
■ Injury caused by vibration
Limit exposure. Follow the instructions in Risk
Reduction.
■ Electric shock caused by contact with hidden wires.
Hold the product only by insulated services.
■ Injury caused by dust
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.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness, and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.

torque. For small screws, use speed 1. For a better control
with mid-sized screws, use speed 2. For maximum speed
and power when driving large screws, use speed 3.
DeckDrive™ is a mode programmed with a profi le that suits
driving decking screws. It has a soft start-up to catch the
screw thread, the impact driver then accelerates up to full
speed before slowing down when the screw is almost fl ush,
to allow you to set the screw head correctly. This profi le
