WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold 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.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING
INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the product. The use of protective clothing is
recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy
non-slip footwear, helmet, and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using the product may be harmful to
health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection
mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health
(e.g., asbestos).
Turn offthe product immediately if the insertion tool stalls. Do
not turn on the product again while the insertion tool is stalled,
as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive
force. Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
●The insertion tool is tilted in the workpiece to be machined.
●The insertion tool has pierced through the material to be
machined.
●The power tool is overloaded.
Do not reach into the product while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
●when changing products
●when setting the product down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the product
is running.
When working in walls, ceiling, or floors, take care to avoid
electric cables and gas pipes or water pipes.
Clamp the workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
product.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse
or by burning them. MILWAUKEE distributors offer to retrieve
old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects
(short circuit risk).
Use only M18 System chargers for charging M18 System
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store them
only in dry rooms. Keep the battery packs and chargers dry
at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme
load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery
acid, wash it offimmediately with soap and water. In case
of eye contact, rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and
immediately seek medical attention.
WARNING! This product contains a lithium button/coin cell
battery. A new or used battery can cause severe internal burns
and lead to death in as little as 2 hours if swallowed or enters
the body. Always secure the battery cover. If it does not close
securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and
keep it away from children. If you think batteries may have
been swallowed or entered the body, seek immediate medical
attention.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow
inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing
products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between
0°C and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C
and 20°C.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The cordless impact wrench can be used to tighten and loosen
nuts and bolts wherever no mains connection is available.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
OPERATION
NOTE: It is recommended after fastening to always check
the torque with a torque wrench.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors
including the following.
●State of battery charge — When the battery is discharged,
the voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be
reduced.
●Operation at speeds — Operating the product at low
speeds will cause a reduction in fastening torques.
●Fastening position — Holding the product or the driving
fastener in various angles will affect the torque.
●Drive accessory/socket — Failure to use the correct size
accessory or socket, or a non-impact rated accessory may
cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
●Use of accessories and extensions — Depending on the
accessory or extension, fitment can reduce the fastening
force of the impact wrench.
●Bolt/Nut — Fastening torques may differ according to the
diameter of the nut or bolt, the class of nut/bolt and the
length of nut/bolt.
●Condition of the fastener — Contaminated, corroded, dry,
or lubricated fasteners may vary the fastening torques.
●Condition and base material — The base material of the
fastener and any component in between the surfaces may
affect the fastening torque (dry or lubricated base, soft or
hard base, disc, seal or washer between the fastener and
base material).
