WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all 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.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working
with the machine. 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 this tool 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).
Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do not
switch the device on 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:
• it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
• it has pierced through the material to be machined
• the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
• when changing tools
• when setting the device down
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to avoid electric
cables and gas or waterpipes.
Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces
can cause severe injury and damage.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
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 System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms.
Keep 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 off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The cordless impact driver can be used to tighten and loosen nuts and
bolts wherever no mains connection is available.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
RPM SETTING
The function is designed to reduce screw stripping, screw
breakage, and damage to the work surface when driving self-tapping
screws. This function is optimized for the most common materials,
including #8-#10 self-tapping screws between 12-25 mm length and
0,5-1 mm sheet metal.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, after use, the battery packs have to be fully
charged.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away
from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 2 seconds
and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery
could become to high. If this happens, the battery will shut down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
• The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
• Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and
transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained
persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding
experts.
When transporting batteries:
• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to
prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within
packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
