GENERAL SAFETY RULES GEA001-3
WARNING:
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
4. 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 risk of electric shock.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. 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.
Personal safety
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

4
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES GEB009-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to recipro saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts
of tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Wear ear protectors.
3. Check the socket carefully for wear, cracks or
damage before installation.
4. Hold the tool firmly.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
6. The proper fastening torque may differ depend-
ing upon the kind or size of the bolt. Check the
torque with a torque wrench.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual
may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger
actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.
• Change the direction of rotation only when the tool comes to a complete
stop. Changing it before the tool stops may damage the tool.
The switch is reversible, providing either clockwise or counterclockwise rota-
tion. To start the tool, simply pull the lower part of the switch trigger for clock-
wise or the upper part for counterclockwise. Release the switch trigger to stop.
ASSEMBLY CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip
For 6906 only
Fit the side grip into the groove on the middle of the hammer case and fasten
securely.
Selecting correct socket
Always use the correct size socket for bolts and nuts. An incorrect size socket
will result in inaccurate and inconsistent fastening torque and/or damage to the
bolt or nut.
Installing or removing socket
1. For socket without O-ring and pin
To install the socket, push it onto the anvil of the tool until it locks into
place.

2. For socket with O-ring and pin
Move the O-ring out of the groove in the socket and remove the pin from
the socket. Fit the socket onto the anvil of the tool so that the hole in the
socket is aligned with the hole in the anvil. Insert the pin through the hole
in the socket and anvil. Then return the O-ring to the original position in
the socket groove to retain the pin. To remove the socket, follow the
installation procedures in reverse.
OPERATION
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon the kind or size of the
bolt, the material of the workpiece to be fastened, etc. The relation between
fastening torque and fastening time is shown in the figures.
Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over the bolt or nut. Turn the tool on
and fasten for the proper fastening time.
NOTE:
•Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut.
•Excessive fastening torque may damage the bolt/nut or socket. Before
starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine the proper
fastening time for your bolt or nut.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the fol-
lowing. After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.
1. Voltage
Voltage drop will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
2. Socket
•Failure to use the correct size socket will cause a reduction in the
fastening torque.
•A worn socket (wear on the hex end or square end) will cause a
reduction in the fastening torque.
3. Bolt
•Even though the torque coefficient and the class of bolt are the
same, the proper fastening torque will differ according to the
diameter of bolt.
•Even though the diameters of bolts are the same, the proper
fastening torque will differ according to the torque coefficient, the
class of bolt and the bolt length.
4. The use of the universal joint or the extension bar somewhat reduces the
fastening force of the impact wrench. Compensate by fastening for a
longer period of time.
5. The manner of holding the tool or the material of driving position to be
fastened will affect the torque.
