ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These
chemicals include:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how
often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety
equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
!
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection.
This tool is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. It must be connected to
a 120 V, 15 A circuit that is protected by a time-delayed fuse or circuit
breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn,
cut or damaged in any way.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

5
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially
explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust.
Power tools create sparks that may ignite
dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the tool. Distractions
can cause the operator to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will only fit into a
polarized plug one way.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet
properly, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the
need for the three-pronged grounded
power cord and grounded power supply
system.
Avoid contact between the operator's body
and grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if the
operator's body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Do not use the
power cord to carry the tool or to pull the
plug out of the outlet. Keep the power cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and
moving parts. Replace a damaged power
cord immediately. A damaged power cord
increases the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an outdoor-rated extension cord type
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and they reduce the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, be aware of the surroundings,
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating a power tool
may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery, or long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
!
POWER TOOL SAFETY

6
PERSONAL SAFETY –cont’d
Avoid accidental start-ups. Verify that the
switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the tool. Carrying a power tool
with a finger on the switch or plugging in a
tool that has the switch in the ON position
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance allows the operator to maintain
better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Use a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a
hardhat, or hearing protection when
appropriate.
USE AND CARE OF POWER TOOLS
Use clamps or another practical means to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work in a hand
or against the body is not stable, and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool
for the application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer when used at the
rate that it was designed to work at.
Do not use a power tool if it cannot be
turned ON or OFF using the power switch.
A tool that cannot be controlled using the
switch is dangerous, and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the outlet before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of accidental start-ups.
When power tools are not in use, store
them out of the reach of children or
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind, and are easier to
control.
Inspect the tool for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, broken parts, and any
other condition that may affect the
operation of the tool. If it is damaged, have
the tool serviced before using it. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for this
model. Accessories that are suitable for
one tool may become hazardous when
used with another tool.
SERVICE
Tools servicing must be performed by
qualified personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by non-qualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow the instructions
in the Maintenance section of this Manual.
The use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow the instructions in the Maintenance
section of this Manual may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

impact wrench. 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 wrench.
Never use the impact wrench as a torque
wrench. Always use a torque wrench to
adjust the fastener to the specified torque.
Keep the impact wrench 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 wrench. 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.

1. Safety glasses and hearing
protection are being worn.
2. Socket or accessory is “impact
wrench” rated.
3. Socket or accessory is in good
condition.
Failure to observe these safety rules
will significantly increase the risk of
injury.
WARNING
!

19
REMOVING FASTENERS –cont’d
1. Install the correct size of impact
socket on the impact wrench as
outlined in Fig. 5
2. Set the forward/reverse button to the

NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY
MAINTENANCE
Nickel-cadmium batteries are powerful,
rugged and provide hundreds of
charge/discharge cycles if properly
maintained and periodically ‘exercised’.
Exercising is required to recover most of
the capacity lost during usage. This
process reduces the size of the active
cadmium hydroxide crystals on the anode,
to expose the entire surface area and
restore capacity.
How to care for your Nickel-cadmium
battery
1. Never allow a battery to freeze.
2. Never charge a battery that has been
stored at temperatures above 45° C
(113° F). Allow it to sit at room
temperature for at least 30 minutes
before charging.
3. Do not charge a battery if it feels
warm to the touch.
4. Never charge a battery after a short
use. Let it sit until it is needed again.
5. Never charge the battery until the tool
in which it is being used cannot
produce useful work.
HOW TO EXERCISE A NICKEL-
CADMIUM BATTERY
NOTE: Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh batteries have a
self discharge rate of approximately 1%
per day. The self discharge rate depends
upon the temperature.
1. Every two months or after 30
charge/discharge cycles, whichever
comes first, fully discharge your
battery. To fully discharge the battery,
place it in the tool that it came with
and work with the tool until it nearly
stops and no longer produces useful
action.
2. If the tool came in a kit with a
worklight, insert the battery into the
light. Turn the switch ON and leave it
ON until the filament is cherry red.
3. Let the battery rest for 30 minutes at
room temperature 21°C (70° F)
before charging.
4. Charge the fully discharged battery
for approximately 1 hour at 21° C
(70° F).
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Lithium-ion batteries share many
characteristics with Nickel-Cadmium
batteries.
The major characteristic that is NOT
shared with Nickel-Cadmium batteries is
that Lithium-ion batteries do not have a
“memory” and do not require to be
completely discharged periodically. It is
recommended that you charge your
Lithium-ion batteries after each use so
they will be fully charged when needed.
NOTE: A fully charged battery will loose
about 2% of its charge per month during
storage.
