Impact Driver Safety
WARNING: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning installation,
operation and maintenance.
a) ALWAYS hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces. Operations where the tool,
fitted accessories or fasteners may contact hidden 'live' wiring will make exposed metal
parts of the tool 'live' and cause an electric shock hazard to the operator.
b) DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that
operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions.
c) ALWAYS grip the tool firmly, DO NOT overreach, and ensure you won't lose control.
Keep secure footing whilst using an impact driver.
d) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger
are protected against moisture at all times.
e) When using the impact driver, use safety equipment including safety glasses or
shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves. If the work
produces dust wear respiratory protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A
minimum rating of FFP2 is recommended. If operating the tool causes discomfort in any
way, stop immediately and review your method of use.
f) Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
g) Ensure that the impact driver bit or accessory is securely fixed in the bit holder.
Insecure accessories can be ejected from the machine causing a hazard.
h) DO NOT exert pressure on to the tool. To do so would shorten its service life.
i) If you are interrupted when operating an impact driver, complete the process and
switch off before looking up.
j) Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
k) Examine the bit holder regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts
repaired by a qualified service centre.
l) ALWAYS wait until the impact driver has come to a complete stop before putting it
down.
m) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.
n) Only use bits and accessories, specifically designed for use with impact drivers.
Conventional bits and accessories may shear off during use, or be otherwise damaged,
potentially ejecting dangerous projectiles.
o) Ensure that fasteners are suitable for impact driver use. Nuts, bolts and screws that
are not suitable for high torque application may be damaged.

Battery Charger Safety

Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting
to charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep your
battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
Warning: Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries
Use batteries correctly
• Only charge batteries using the charger provided. Only use batteries provided with this
power tool, or others recommended by the supplier. Keep batteries clean; foreign objects
or dirt may cause a short. Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy
use. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approx 20˚C). Ensure
that batteries cannot accidentally short in storage.
Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered
during charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has reached
full charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
GB
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the
recommended lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off the tool if the battery becomes too hot during
operation. This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods
of time. Up to 30 minutes' cooling time may be required, depending on the ambient
temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current
draw is exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal
operation when the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few
seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs,
this prevents damage to the battery or tool

Unpacking your Tool
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
• This impact driver has been shipped in a low charge condition. Charge the battery before
use
Battery charger operation
• The charger and battery may become warm while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem
• Use the charger at normal room temperatures whenever possible. To prevent overheating,
do not cover the charger and do not charge the battery in direct sunlight or near sources
of heat
If the battery does not charge properly:
• Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
• If charging problems persist, have the impact driver, battery and battery charger checked
by an electrician or a power tool technician
Charging the battery
1. Depress the Battery Release Grips (4) and remove the battery from the tool
2. Insert the battery into the Battery Charger (8). Do not use excessive force when inserting
the battery. If it does not slide into place easily, it is not being inserted correctly
NOTE: Initially only the green LED may flash as it evaluates the status of the battery. When
charging, the red LED will illuminate and the green LED will be OFF. When the battery is fully
charged, the red LED will be OFF and the green LED will illuminate. The battery charger will
constantly monitor the condition of the battery when charging
3. Remove the battery as soon as possible when completely charged
4. Disconnect the charger from the power supply and store in a clean, dry environment out of
the reach of children
• Normal battery charging time is approximately 1hr for a recently fully discharged battery
at normal temperature. Charging times will vary outside these conditions
• You do not need to fully discharge the battery before recharging but you should not
attempt to recharge a battery that is already fully charged
• You can interrupt charging at any point to use the battery. Under normal conditions the
charger charges at a higher rate but reduces the charging rate as the battery becomes
fully charged. An 80% charge is achieved after 1/2hr of charging.
3.0Ah High Capacity Battery (optional accessory)
A high capacity battery is available that provides double the capacity. It also allows the drill
driver to stand vertically which may be advantageous for some uses. Please note the full
charging time will be approximately 120 minutes for the high capacity battery.
