CORDLESS POWER RATCHET
WARNING:Read all safety warnings and 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gas, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. 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.
3. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. 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 moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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 influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
3. 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. It is
dangerous to carry power tools with your finger on the
power switch or plug a power tool into a power outlet
while the power switch is in the ON position.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
7. 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.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
1. DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users. DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, the power tool should be repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are easier to control
and less likely to bind.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
8. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
