Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specica-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractionscancauseyoutolose
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. Unmodied 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 condi-
tions. 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
movingparts.Damagedor entangledcordsincrease
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 ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

eye protection. Protectiveequipmentsuchasadust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protectionusedforappropriateconditionswillreduce
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 nger on the
switchorenergizingpower 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
attachedto arotatingpart of thepower tool mayresult
in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance 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 and clothing 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.
•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. Acareless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. Thecorrectpower
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.

of untrained users.
•Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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
maintainedcutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

sories specifically designed for
use on impact wrenches and drivers. Other
sockets and accessories might shatter or break
causing injury.
3. To stop thetool, release thetriggerand the electric
brake stops the tool instantly.
Impacting Techniques
The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the
tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the
fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impact-
ing. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller
fasteners because they require less impacting to
reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of
time required to reach the desired torque. Check the
tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasteners
are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are
not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under
the head of the fastener affects the degree of tight-
ness.
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages
75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on
the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a
relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench
for nal tightening.
Temperature Protection
The tool features internal protections that prevent
damage during extreme cold and overheating.
• If performance is abnormal in low temperature, pull
thetrigger withno load forabout 10 secondsto warm
up the tool.
• In extreme cold temperatures, the tool may shut
down. Allow the tool to warm up before use.
• If performance is abnormal after heavy use, let
the tool cool down for about 30 minutes. Normal
performance will return.
