Safety Rules for Cordless Impact Wrenches
a. Hold the 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 pow-
er tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
b. Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
c. Do not drive fasteners into existing walls
or other blind areas where electrical wir-
ing may exist. If this situation is unavoid-
able, disconnect all fuses or circuit break-
ers feeding this worksite.
d. Use only sockets designed for power im-
pact wrenches. Sockets designed for hand
use may break under the load this tool gen-
erates.
e. Be certain to seat the socket completely
and securely on the output drive.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be care-
ful not to disassemble any portion of the
tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs
may be improperly mounted. Certain clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetra-
chloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic
parts.
Ensure trigger lock is engaged before in-
serting battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.

Additional Safety Warnings
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
f. Do not use worn or damaged sockets.
g. Select the correct size sockets and keep
the inside of the socket clean.
h. Do not allow a loose fastener to spin free-
ly within the socket. The fastener may be
thrown out of the socket.
i. Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest pe-
riods. Vibration caused by impact driver
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
j. Remove battery pack before changing ac-
cessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery
inserted are in the operative condition.
k. Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. The rotating drive could become
entangled with clothing and injury may re-
sult.
l. Place the tool onto the fastener only
when the tool is switched off. Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction ac-
tivities 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, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, de-
pending 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.
