2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 
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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check 
for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other condition that 
may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, 
have the power tool repaired before use. Many 
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power 
tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are 
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. 
in accordance with these instructions, taking into 
account the working conditions and the work to 
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations 
different from those intended could result in a 
hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and 
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and 
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work 
gloves which may be entangled. The entanglement 
of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may result in 
personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the 
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type 
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used 
with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated 
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may 
create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, 
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, 
that can make a connection from one terminal to 
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may 
cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact 
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid 
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. 
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation 
or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged 
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may 
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, 
explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire 
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or 
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not 
charge the battery pack or tool outside the 
temperature range specified in the instructions. 
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the 
specified range may damage the battery and increase 
the risk of fire.
Service
1. 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.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service 
of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing 
accessories.

Cordless impact driver safety 
warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, when performing an operation where 
the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners 
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal 
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the 
operator an electric shock.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in 
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Wear ear protectors.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately 
after operation. They may be extremely hot and 
could burn your skin.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. 
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
8. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, when performing an operation where 
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. 
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make 
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could 
give the operator an electric shock.
