GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your power tool works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety,
operation and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SATETY
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.
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 conditions. 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 moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase 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.
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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before connecting to power source and/ or battery
pack, pick up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power 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
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure theses
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force 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 is designed.
Do not use the power tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained power tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool serviced before using.
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.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend them these instructions.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS IMPACT WRENCH
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting
tools 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 with. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Check the impact socket carefully for wear, cracks or damage before installation.
Hold the tool firmly.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high
locations.
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon the kind or size of the bolt. Check the torque
with a torque wrench.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER & TRIGGER LOCK
WARNING: After tool use, lock trigger in “OFF” position to help prevent accidental starts
and accidental discharge.
Your tool is equipped with a forward/ reversing lever and trigger lock located above the trigger (fig. 1).
This lever was designed for changing rotation of the bit, and for locking the trigger in an “OFF” position.
For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away from you) move the lever to the far left.
For reverse rotation move the lever to the far right.
To activate trigger lock move lever to the center off position.
CAUTION: Do not change direction of rotation until the tool comes to a complete stop.
Shifting during rotation of the chuck can cause damage to the tool.
WORKLIGHT
CAUTION: Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.
There is a worklight above the trigger switch (See Fig.1). The worklight is activated when the trigger
switch is depressed, and will automatically turn off 10 seconds after the trigger switch is released.
If the trigger switch remains depressed, the worklight will remain on.
Note: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.
OPERATING TIPS
CAUTION:Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of torque generated by
the tool. Excessive torque may cause breakage and possible personal injury.
The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the
fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting. 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
tightness.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 final tightening.

13
TEMPERATURE CONTROL /OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When the temperature of battery is too high and the machine switches off automatically.
• Switch the power tool off.
• Allow the battery to cool down before continuing to work.
When the power tool is blocked and switches off automatically.
• Remove the power tool from the workpiece.
• As soon as the blockage is corrected, the power tool will continue to work at the set stroke rate.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
