VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused by or worsened from
tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical
symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip the tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur, stop using this
tool immediately.
8. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it unattended until it has come
to a complete stop. A part that is moving could make the tool jump or grab a surface and pull the tool out of
your control.
CHARGER & BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Before using battery charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on (1) the battery charger, (2)
the battery, and (3) the impact wrench.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the rechargeable battery type marked on the charger label.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or intended for this tool may result in a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than by the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
1. That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those
of the plug on the charger.
2. That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• Do not operated charger with damaged cord or plug – replace them immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take
it to a qualified service centre.
• Do not disassemble the charger or battery cartridge. Take it to a qualified service centre when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning. Turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.
• The battery charger is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the battery charger.
• If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of
overheating, possible burns and even explosion.
• If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. It
may result in loss of your eyesight.
