GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to corded power
tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
* Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 ignite the dust or fumes.
* Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
* Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
* When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.

SPECiFiC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS iMPACT WRENCH
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Use clamps or other practical way to support and secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where
electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all
fuses or circuit breakers supplying the worksite.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool.
Bits, sockets, and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when
touching them.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
Use thick, cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent
rest periods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill or Imapct wrench action may
be harmful to your hands and arms.
Secure the material being fastened. Never hold it in your hand or across your
legs. Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the forward/reverse switch is in the OFF
position before inserting a battery pack. Carrying appliances with your finger
on the switch or inserting the battery pack into an appliance with the switch
on invites accidents.
Remove battery pack before changing accessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery inserted are inthe operative condition.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when "seating" or removing a fastener. The
tool housing may tend to twist in the opposite direction of bit rotation when
"seating" or removing a fastener, depending on the torque setting of the tool.
66810 ManuaLRevised_09 0407 Page 9

• Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side. A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when the tool is switched OFF. Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools equipped with shut-off clutches are not
designed for drilling applications. The output drive can shut off automatically
and without warning.
Be careful when driving long screws. There is a risk of the tool sliding off the
fastener head, depending on type of socket or bit used. First test the run-down
of a fastener and pay attention during the screw-driving process to ensure you
do not injure yourself if the tool bit or socket slides off of the fastener.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the
temperature is more that 32 ° F (0° C) but less that 104°F (40°C). Do not store
outside or in vehicles.

LOW-BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR
• If one LED light on the POWER BAR begins to rapidly and continuously
flash when the trigger switch on the wrench is depressed, the battery pack's
power has run out, and the battery pack should be recharged.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free
power for their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual
loss of power as you work. To signal that the battery pack is at the end of
its run time and needs to be charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.
The POWER BAR will begin to display four flashing LED lights when the
battery is completely discharged. When this happens, remove the tool from
the workpiece, and charge the battery pack as needed.
NOTE: The POWER BAR may also display four flashing LED lights due to an
overload or high temperature situation (see SmartChip TMBattery protection).
66810 ManuaLRevised_09 0407 Page i5

SmartChip TM BATTERY PROTECTION
SmartChip TM intuitive circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme
temperature, over-discharge and over-charge. To protect the battery from
damage and prolong its life, the battery pack's SmartChip TM circuitry will turn
off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded or if the temperature becomes too
high during use. This may happen in extremely high torque, binding and stalling
situations. This intelligent system will shutdown your battery pack if its operating
temperature exceeds 176°F (80°C) and will begin normal operation when it
returns to 32°F (0°C) - 122 °F (50°C).
• The POWER BAR will display four flashing LED lights if the SmartChip TM
circuitry detects a momentary overload. You can conveniently reset the
battery pack by pressing the POWER BAR button. Press the POWER BAR
button again to display the remaining charge.
NOTE: The POWER BAR continues to flash four LED lights after reset, place the
battery pack on the charger, charger to evaluate the battery condition (Fig.4)
NOTE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates
that the batteries are near the end of their usable life and must be replaced.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
This Lithium-ion battery pack will provide optimal performance in temperatures
between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it may
"pulse" for the first minute of use to warm itself. Put the battery pack on a tool
and use the tool in a light application. After about a minute, the battery pack will
have warmed itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
The Lithium-ion battery can be Fig. 3
charged at any time and will
not develop a "memory" when
charged after only a partial
discharge, it is not necessary
to run down the battery pack
charge before recharging.
Remove the battery pack from
the tool when convenient for
you and your job.
* Use the POWER BAR to
determine when you need to
recharge the battery pack.
* You can "top-off" your
battery pack's charge
before starting a big job or long period of use.
66810 ManuaLRevised_09 0407 Page 16

• Due to Lithium-Ion's fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to
charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end
of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly.
