TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. WORK AREA SAFETY • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor 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 Residual Current Device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. 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 WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

6 7 of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. • 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 • 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 for which it was designed. • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. • Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. • 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. • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. 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. • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 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 130°C (266°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 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 only identical 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. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS IMPACT WRENCH • Do not let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to impact wrench safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. • Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

8 a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. • Wear ear protectors. • Check the socket carefully for wear, cracks or damage before installation. • Hold the tool firmly. • 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. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER • If the battery pack casing is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. There is a danger of electric shock or electrocution. • Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. To facilitate cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or a trailer that is not insulated. • This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries. Any other use may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution. • Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive internal heat. Do not place the charger near any heat source. • To reduce the potential risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger from the power supply. • Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. • An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution. • Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. • Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized repair facility when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire. • To prevent the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting to clean it. Only removing the battery pack from the charger will not reduce this risk. • DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 122°F (50°C), which can lead to deterioration of the storage battery. • The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 V AC). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON BATTERY AND CHARGER • The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures. • The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is 59–77°F (15–25°C). Do not charge the battery pack where the air temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or above 113°F (45°C). This is important and will prevent damage to the battery pack. • Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire. • Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge. • The length of service from your battery will depend on the type of work you are doing. The battery has been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear out. • To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following: - Store and charge your battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery life. - Never store the battery in a discharged condition. Recharge it immediately after it has been discharged. • All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without use, recharge the battery every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.

Select the speed based on the application by pressing the “ ” button and control the speed of the tool using the trigger switch. The wrench is pre-set to highest speed mode setting when shipped from the manufacturer. FORWARD AND REVERSE The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the trigger switch (Fig. D). With the impact wrench held in normal operating positions: • Position the forward/reverse selector to the left of the tool for forward. • Position the forward/reverse selector to the right of the tool for reverse. • Position the forward/reverse selector in the centre will lock the switch trigger to help reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. INSTALLING AND REMOVING A SOCKET Always use the correct size socket for bolts and nuts. An incorrect size socket will result in inaccurate and inconsistent fastening torque and/or damage to the bolt or nut. To install the socket, push it onto the anvil of the tool until it locks into place (Fig. E). To remove the socket, simply pull it off. - Less than 60% charged: one light will stay on, while the other two lights will blink in sequence. - Over 60% charged: two lights will stay on, while the remaining light will blink continuously. - Fully charged: all three lights will remain on continuously. • The charging process will last approximately 65 minutes and continuous lighting of all three charging lights will indicate charging is complete. CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS The charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with battery packs. • When the charger detects the battery pack is overheated, all three charging lights will blink at the same time. Please remove the battery and allow it to cool down for 15–30 minutes and re-insert. • When the charger detects a malfunction in the battery, two charging lights will blink at the same time. Please remove the battery and allow it to cool down for 15–30 minutes. Then re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If two charging lights still flash, the battery may require service. • When the charger detects a malfunction of the charger itself, three charging lights will blink at the same time. Please remove the battery pack and unplug the charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug charger back in and re-insert the pack into the charger. If all three charging lights still blink at the same time, the charger may require service. ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! The working temperature of the charger is 4 to 40°C (40 to 104°F). NOTE: Charging times may be longer depending on the surrounding temperature and battery condition. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION!

NOTE: The impact wrench will not run unless the direction of forward/reverse selector is engaged fully to the left or right.

16 17 LED WORKLIGHT When the unit is switched on, the LED worklight also comes on to ensure better vision and to make working in dark areas safer. The LED worklight remains on for 15 seconds after the trigger switch is released. REMAINING POWER INDICATOR If the trigger switch is pressed, the remaining power indicator lights for 5 seconds and the battery’s remaining power can be checked. LED INDICATOR REMAINING POWER STATUS 1 0–25 % 2 25–50 % 3 50–75 % 4 75–100 % BELT HOOK The belt hook is used to hang the tool from your waist belt while working. Install the belt hook securely in the groove of the wrench and tighten the screw to fix the hook firmly (Fig. F). TEMPERATURE CUT OUT When used as intended, the wrench cannot be subject to overload. But running continuously at full load for a long time will cause the battery pack to overheat. If the allowable battery temperature range of 0–70°C (32–158°F) is exceeded, the battery pack will automatically stop operating and will not restart until it has cooled to a safe level. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! • When using the belt hook, hang the power tool firmly so as not to drop it accidentally. If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident. • When carrying the tool hooked to your waist belt, do not fit any bit to the top of the power tool, as this may lead to accidental injury. WARNING! Do not insert or remove socket while the tool is activated. Make sure the battery pack is removed or the forward and reverse lever is in the centre locked position when inserting or removing socket. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LOW-VOLTAGE CUT-OUT The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low-voltage cut-out feature within the circuitry. The low-voltage cut-out feature operates when the voltage drops below a pre- set value. This feature automatically stops the tool from operating. When this condition occurs you will need to either insert another battery pack into the tool or recharge the existing battery pack. TIGHTENING FASTENERS Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine the proper fastening time for your bolt or nut. • Install the socket on the anvil. Then, set the forward and reverse lever on the appropriate setting (forward or reverse). • Hold the tool firmly and place the socket in line with the bolt or nut. • Press the trigger switch to turn on the impact wrench. The variable speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure. • Fasten the bolt or nut to the proper torque. • To turn the impact wrench off, release the trigger switch. • After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench. Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of time required to reach the desired torque. Check the tightness with a torque wrench. If the fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are not tight enough, increase the impacting time. The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the following: • Socket. Failure to use the correct size socket will cause a reduction in the fastening torque. A worn socket (wear on the hex end or square end) will cause a reduction in the fastening torque. NOTE: • The impact wrench will not restart until the battery pack has cooled. . • Do not force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in refrigerator or freezer. To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery pack from the tool and place the battery pack in a free air environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat source. NOTE: Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging the battery or installing another battery (with charge) will lead to tool restarting and then stopping again, after only a few seconds of operation.

18 • Bolt. The proper fastening torque will differ according to the diameter of the bolt, the torque coefficient, the bolt length, and the class of bolt. • The use of a universal joint or an extension bar (both available separately) will reduce the fastening force of the impact wrench somewhat. Compensate by fastening for a longer period of time. • The manner of holding the tool or the material to be fastened will affect the torque. LOOSENING FASTENERS • With the proper impact socket securely mounted to the cordless impact wrench, slide the impact socket on to the bolt head. • Verify that the rotational direction is “reverse”. • Hold the tool securely with both hands and squeeze the trigger switch. The tool will start to impact immediately. • Once the fastener has “broken loose” it will start to unthread. Be careful that you do not allow a fastener to spin freely once it is no longer engaged with the other threaded part, as it may be thrown out of the socket. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: NOTE: The torque that is required to loosen a fastener averages 75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on the condition of the contacting surfaces. However, if rust or corrosion causes seizing, more torque may be required. • Hold the tool straight along the axis of the bolt or nut. • Excessive fastening torque may damage the bolt/nut or socket. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. BATTERIES The battery pack is equipped with lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. The duration of use from each charge will depend on the type of work performed. The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. Like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble the battery pack or attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of the batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewellery, could result in a serious burn.
