In order to reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles. !

and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. 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 adapter 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 a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) 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 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. POWER TOOL SAFETY !

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. 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 the battery pack 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. 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. 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. POWER TOOL SAFETY

wrench. Read the Owner’s Manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury. Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break. Always use hearing protection when operating the impact wrench. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Use only impact sockets and accessories that are designed for use with an impact wrench. Do not use chrome plated sockets and accessories. Chrome plated sockets and accessories are designed for hand use only and MUST NOT be used with an impact wrench. They may shatter and possibly cause serious injury. Before each use, check the impact sockets and accessories for excessive wear or cracks. Worn or damaged sockets or accessories may shatter and possibly cause serious injury. Worn accessories may allow the socket to come off during operation of the impact wrench. Never use the impact wrench as a torque wrench. Always use a torque wrench to adjust the fastener to the specified torque. Keep the impact wrench handle and body clean and free of oil and grease. Always use a clean dry cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents, brake fluid, gasoline or other petroleum products to clean the tool. They will damage the tool. Do not wear neckties or loose clothing. When wearing gloves, they must be tight fitting and slip resistant type. Leather gloves offer the best protection. Always use two hands when operating the impact wrench. Use one hand on the handle and the other on the front of the tool body. Never place your hand so it is touching the socket or accessory when the tool is turned ON. Your hand could be seriously injured. Always remove the plug from the power source before installing or removing any socket or accessory. Be ready for components to shift when removing any fastener. The speed of the fastener removal could cause unexpected shifting of the components. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES ! !

cord clear of the work area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on the workpiece, a tool, or any other obstruction while the power tool is in use. If an extension cord is used with this impact wrench, verify that it is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in a loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use according to cord length and the amperage rating that is listed ton the tool's nameplate. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. Verify that the extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Replace a damaged extension cord immediately, or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Keep the extension cord away from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas. Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit must consist of not less than 14 gauge wire, and should be protected by either a 15 A time-delayed fuse or a circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the outlet, verify that the switch is in the OFF position, and that the voltage of the power source is the same as the voltage that is indicated on the tool's nameplate. Running this impact wrench at lower voltage will damage the motor. EXTENSION CORD SAFETY !
