GENERAL SAFETY RULES USA002-2
(For All Tools)
A WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Clutteredbenchesand dark areas inviteacci-
dents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as
in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparkswhich may ignitethe dust
or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away whileoperating a powertool. Distrac-
tions can causeyou
to losecontrol.
Electrical Safety
4. Double insulatedtools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade iswider than
the other.) This plug will fit ina polarized
outlet only oneway. Ifthe plugdoes notfit
fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
changethe plug
in any way. Doubleinsula-
tion
H eliminatesthe needfor the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded sur-
faces suchas pipes, radiators, rangesand
refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of
electric shock if your body isgrounded.
2

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power
tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do notabuse the cord. Never usethecord
to carry the tools or pull the plugfrom an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or
“W”. These cords are rated for outdoor
useandreduce the risk of electric shock.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holdingthe work by handor
against your body is unstable and may lead
to lossof control.
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct
tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is danaerous and must be

tool, may becomehazardous when used
on another
tool.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions
in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenanceinstructionsmay create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extensioncord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of
power and overheating.Table 1 shows the correct size to use dependingon cord lengthand

Fastening time
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon the
kindor size of the bolt. The relationbetweenfastening torque
andfastening time is shown in the figures.
Holdthe tool firmly and placethe socket over the bolt or nut.
Turn the tool on and fasten for the proper fastening time.
NOTE:
When fastening screw M8 (5/16) or smaller, carefully
adjust pressureon the switch trigger
so that the screw is
not damaged.
Hold the
tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut without
applyingexcessive pressureon the tool.
If you fasten the bolt for a time longer than shown in the
figures, the bolt or the socket may be overstressed,
damaged,etc. Before starting your job, always perform a
test operation
to determinethe properfastening time for
your bolt. Especially for the bolt over than
M8 (5/16"),
perform the above test operation to prevent the trouble
on socket or bolt, etc.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors
including the following. After fastening, always check the
torque with
a torquewrench.
1. Socket
Failure to use the correct size socket will cause a
reductionin the fastening torque.
A worn socket (wear on the hex end or square end)
will cause a reductionin the fastening torque.
2. Bolt
Even though the torque coefficient and the class of
bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will
differ accordingto the diameter of bolt.
Eventhoughthe 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.
3. The manner of holdingthe tool or the material of driving
positionto be fastenedwill affect the torque.
4. Operatingthe tool at low speed will cause a reduction in
the fastening torque.
