WARNING! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Always observe the safety regula-
tions applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury. Understand the following safety instructions before attempt-
ing to operate this product. Always wear eye protection when working with
power tools. Keep these instructions in a safe place.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
Keep your work area clean and
well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ig-
nite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, al-
cohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Con-
tain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance ena-
bles better control on the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skidsafetyshoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical
ways to secure and support the
work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work piece by hand or
against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tools. Use the cor-
rect tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
General Safety Rules

5
Do not use tool if switch does
not turn it on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Store idle tools out of reach of
children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, and any other con-
dition that may affect the tool
operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Use only Signature Series rec-
ommended accessories for
your tool model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool,
may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair person-
nel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing an AIMCO Sig-
nature Series tool, it is im-
portant to use AIMCO Signature
Series Parts, and all work
should be undertaken by a qual-
ified AIMCO Signature Series
Authorized Technician. Use of
unauthorized parts or work per-
formed by a non-authorized tech-
nician will void warranty and may
create a risk of damage to the tool,
risk of electric shock, or injury to a
user.

 Caution: To reduce risk of injury,
charge only the authorized batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst,
causing personal injury and damage.
Before using battery charger, read
all instructions and cautionary
markings on batteries, chargers,
and products using batteries.
Do not allow anything to cover or
clog the charger vents.
Do not expose charger to rain,
snow or wet conditions.
To reduce the risk of damage to
electric plug and cord, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnect-
ing charger.
Additional Safety Rules for Shut-Off Impact Tool

6
Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by the manufac-
turer may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to per-
sons.
Make sure cord for charger is lo-
cated so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped on, tripped over, or oth-
erwise subjected to damage or
stress.
Do not abuse the power cord.
Never use the cord to carry the
charger. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, water, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately.
Do not operate charger if it has
been damaged in any way, take it
to a qualified service center for re-
pair.
To reduce risk of electric shock,
unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will
not reduce this risk.
Do not disassemble charger or
battery cartridge. Take it to a qual-
ified service center when repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in risk of electric shock
or fire.
Battery Pack
Do not charge battery pack when
temperature is below 0oC (32oF)
or above 40oC (104oF).
Do not attempt to use a step-down
transformer, an engine generator,
or DC power receptacle.
Do not short the battery pack: Do
not touch the terminals with any
conductive material. Avoid storing
battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, paper clips, etc.
Do not expose battery cartridge to
water or rain. A battery short can
cause large current flow, over-
heating, possibly burns and even
a break-down.
Do not store the machine and bat-
tery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed
50oC (122oF).
Do not incinerate the battery pack
even if it is severely damaged or
completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
Be careful not to drop, shake, or
strike the battery.
Do not charge inside a box or con-
tainer of any kind. The battery
must be placed in a well-ventilated
are during charging.
Do not dispose of battery packs
into household waste, fire, or wa-
ter. Battery packs should be col-
lected, recycled or disposed of in
an environmentally-friendly man-
ner. Call the authorized warranty
centers for locations to dispose of
damaged or inoperable batteries.

CHARGING THE LI-ION BATTERY
Li-ion Battery Pack
NOTE: Your battery pack is not fully
charged at time of purchase. Be sure
to charge the battery before first use.
Remove the battery pack when
the tool is idle for a long time.
Recharge the battery pack once
every 6 months even if the battery
is not in use.
Batteries should be charged in
ambient temperatures between
0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
Charging outside this range will
result in either less than full
charge or damage to battery pack.
Allow the charger to cool when
charging more than two battery
packs consecutively.
Do not insert your fingers/body
parts into contact area of charger.
Charging the Battery
1. Place charger in a relatively cool
and well-ventilated area.
2. Plug charger into the AC outlet.
CAUTION: Ensure that the power
source to be utilized conforms to
the power requirement specified
on the product nameplate.
3. Turn the battery upside down and
slide it into the charger while keep-
ing the alignment marks aligned.
Slide forward in the direction of the
arrow. Do not force battery: It
should slide easily into place with
nominal force. Any difficulty doing
so indicates incorrect alignment.
4. If the power lamp (red) does not
light immediately or goes out
soon after the charger is plugged
in, consult a Signature Series au-
thorized dealer.
5. During charging, the charging lamp
(green) will flash. When charging is
complete, an internal electronic
switch will automatically be trig-
gered to prevent overcharging.
–Charging will not start if the
battery pack is warm; for exam-
ple, immediately after heavy-
duty operation. The yellow
standby lamp will flash until the
battery cools down.
6. If the temperature of the battery
pack is 0
o
C (32°F) or less, charg-
ing will take longer to fully charge
the battery pack than standard
charging time. At this low temper-
ature, even when the battery is
fully charged, it will have approxi-
mately 50% of the power of a fully
charged battery at normal opera-
tion temperature.
7. Once battery is fully charged, the
green lamp will light to indicate
the charge has entered into a
trickle charge mode
