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.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 265 °F may cause
explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
Safety Rules for Cordless Impact Drivers
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 power tool
live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without
properly bracing the tool during operation,
loss of control may occur resulting in personal
injury.
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.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest
periods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
Secure the material being fastened. Never
hold it in your hand or across your legs.
temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
▶ Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair
person
using
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
Unstable support can cause loss of control
and injury.
Remove battery pack before changing
accessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery
inserted are in the operative condition.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when
"seating" or removing a fastener. The
screwdriver housing may tend to twist in the
opposite direction of bit rotation when
"seating" or removing a fastener depending
on the torque setting of the tool.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. When installing an accessory,
insert the shank of the bit well within the
chuck. Be sure the chuck has locked onto
the bit correctly.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. A spinning bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may
result.
Place the tool onto the fastener only when
the screwdriver is switched off. Rotating
driver tools can slide off the fastener.
Be careful when driving long screws –
there is a risk of sliding off the fastener
head depending on type of socket or bit
used. First test the run-down of a fastener
and pay attention during the screw driving
process to ensure you do not injure yourself
if the tool bit or socket slides off of the
fastener.
