WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Work area safety
Keep 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
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.
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.
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 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 a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
!

Power tool use and care
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maintain power tools. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
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.
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
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 the exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator.
Battery tool use and care
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.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
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.
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.
Service
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.

15
TIGHTENING AND REMOVING FASTENERS
The most common uses for the impact driver
are to drive or remove screws and to tighten or
loosen small nuts.
The principles for operating the impact driver
are the same for most applications. For
illustrative purposes, driving a wood screw is
shown.
PREPARING SCREW HOLES
It is important to prepare screw holes before
attempting to fasten two pieces of wood
together. Proper preparation will make screws
drive easier and prevent misaligned
components, stripped screw heads, splitting and
separating of wood components.
1. Clamp the components that are to be
screwed together in their desired position
(Fig. 10).
2. Drill a pilot hole (1) through the outer piece
(2) and into the inner piece (3). Drill the
hole 2/3 the diameter of the smooth portion
of the screw shank.
NOTE: If the wood is soft, drill the hole 2/3 the
length of the screw. If the wood is hard, drill the
hole the full length of the screw.
3. Remove the clamp from the two pieces to
be screwed together.
4. Enlarge the hole (1) in the outer piece (2)
so it is the same size as the smooth portion
of the screw shank (Fig. 11).
5. If using a flat head screw, counter-sink the
hole (4) so the head of the screw will be
flush with the surface when fully driven into
place.
DRIVING SCREWS
When driving screws, care must be taken to use
a bit that correctly fits the head of the screw
being driven. Be sure to use the largest bit size
that will properly fit into the head of the screw.
The bit must also be in good condition and not
worn so it will drive screws without slipping out
of the screw head.
Always hold the impact driver with two hands
when driving and removing screws to provide
the best possible control over the tool.
1. Select the correct screwdriver bit for the
screw being driven.
2. Insert the bit into the hex drive
(Fig. 6).
3. Set the forward/reverse button to the LEFT
for driving screws (Fig. 7).
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
Fig. 10
Fig. 11

16
DRIVING SCREWS –cont’d
4. Insert the screwdriver bit (1) fully into the
screw head (2) (Fig. 12).
5. While holding the screwdriver firmly against
the screw with both hands and the bit
aligned with the screw, squeeze the trigger
switch and drive the screw.
6. When the screw is driven to the correct
depth, release the switch and the impact
driver will stop.
NOTE: As the screw is driven into the wood, the
torque required to completely drive the screw
into the wood will increase. The impact function
will allow you to continue driving the screw until
it is fully nested in the countersunk area.
7. Release the trigger as soon as the screw is
driven to the desired depth. Failure to
release the trigger at this point will result in
an overdriven screw and possibly twist the
head off the screw.
NOTE: To remove screws, follow the same
general procedure as for driving screws.
8. Push the forward/reverse button to the
RIGHT for removing screws.
9. Insert the bit fully into the screw head.
10. Hold the impact driver and bit firmly against
the screw head and squeeze the trigger
switch.
NOTE: The impact action will allow you to
remove tight screws.
INSTALLING NUT DRIVERS

REMOVING NUTS
1. Press the forward/reverse button to the
RIGHT for removing nuts (Fig. 7).
2. Place the socket fully onto the nut.
3. Hold the nut driver socket and impact
driver firmly against the nut with both
hands. With the nut driver aligned with the
nut, squeeze the trigger switch to start the
impact driver and remove the nut.
NOTE: When removing fasteners, do not allow
the impact driver to operate more than 5
seconds unless the fastener begins to turn. If
the fastener fails to turn within 5 seconds,
reverse the direction of rotation and operate the
impact driver in a forward direction on the
fastener for a few seconds. Now switch back to
reverse direction and remove the fastener. This
procedure will usually break loose seized or
"frozen" fasteners.
WARNING: Operating the impact driver for
more that 5 seconds at a time on a seized or
"frozen" fastener will place severe stress on the
impact driver and cause damage. It may also
break the fastener.
