WARNING: This product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some samples of
these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products,
and
arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Always wear eye protection. Any
power tool can throw foreign
objects into your eyes and cause
permanent eye damage. ALWAYS
wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday
glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause
serious injury when they break.
Always use hearing protection when operating
the impact driver.
Use only impact sockets and accessories that
are designed for use with an impact driver. Do
not use chrome plated sockets and accessories.
Chrome plated sockets and accessories are
designed for hand use only and MUST NOT be
used with an impact driver. They may shatter
and possibly cause serious injury.
Before each use, check the impact sockets and
accessories for excessive wear or cracks. Worn
or damaged sockets or accessories may shatter
and possibly cause serious injury. Worn
accessories may allow the socket to come off
during operation of the impact driver.
After installing any accessory in the hex drive,
pull outward on the accessory to ensure it is
properly installed and cannot be pulled out of
the hex drive.
Never use the impact driver as a torque wrench.
Always use a torque wrench to adjust the
fastener to the specified torque.
Keep the impact driver handle and body clean
and free of oil and grease. Always use a clean
dry cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents,
brake fluid, gasoline or other petroleum products
to clean the tool. They will damage the tool.
Do not wear neckties or loose clothing.
When wearing gloves, they must be tight fitting
and slip resistant type. Leather gloves offer the
best protection.
Always use two hands when operating the
impact driver. Use one hand on the handle and
the other on the front of the tool body.
Never place your hand so it is touching the
socket or accessory when the tool is turned ON.
Your hand could be seriously injured.
Always remove the battery from the tool before
installing or removing any socket or accessory.
Be ready for components to shift when removing
any fastener. The speed of the fastener removal
could cause unexpected shifting of the
components.
