GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Read and keep all these
instructions before operating this wrench.
Work area safety
1. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
3. the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite
dust, or fumes.
4. 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 the 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.
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.
2. or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
3. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
4. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before installing the storage
battery. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch invites accidents.
5. Remove the slot screwdriver before turning the power tool on. Anything left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
7. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
8. 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.
9. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
Power tool use and care
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 at which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
