Cordless Impact Wrench
• 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
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 desig-
nated battery 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 occurs, flush with wa-
ter. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explo-
sion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Ser-
vice of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service
providers.
Impact wrench safety warnings
• Hold the 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.

scalping and / or lacerations can occur if loose
clothing, gloves, jewellery, neck ware and hair
are not kept away from tool and accessories.

with cut or frayed fingers. Gloves can be-
come entangled with the rotating drive, causing
severed or broken fingers.
• Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions
can easily entangle rubber-coated or metal-
reinforced gloves.
• Never hold the drive, socket or drive exten-
sion.
Operating hazards
• Operators and maintenance personnel must
be physically able to handle the bulk, weight
and power of the tool.
• Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counter-
act normal or sudden movements. Have both
hands available.
