Always use common sense and pay particular attention to all the DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTICE statements of this manual. The safety instructions provided are not intended to cover all possible conditions and practices that may occur when operating, maintaining and cleaning power tools. 2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use ma- chines or power tools in damp or wet locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids. Do not bring combustible materials near the tools. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work areas invite accidents. 3. Use personal protective equipment. Wear ANSI approved safety goggles. Protective equipment such as dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, heavy duty work gloves or hearing protection used for appropriate condi- tions will reduce personal injuries. 4. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating this product. Distractions can

cause you to lose control. 5. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating this product. Do not use this product while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating this product may result in serious personal injury. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across running machines, hoses, cords, etc. 6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew- elry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 7. Work Safe. Operate tool a safe distance from yourself and others in the work area. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach, especially on ladders. Be certain ladders being used are sturdy, stable, on a firm surface and erected as safe working angles. Do not reach over or across running machines, hoses, cords, etc. 8. Inspect before every use; do not use if parts are loose or damaged. 9. Do not alter this product in any way. 10. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a tool whose performance is not adequate for your work. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended. 11. 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. 12. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should: • Avoid operating alone. • Do not use with power switch locked on. • Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock. • Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock. 13. 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. 14. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 15. 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. 16. 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. 17. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. Use power tool ONLY on adequately rated circuits to avoid overheating of electrical systems. 18. Prevent accidental starting. Ensure switch is in the “OFF” position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or car- rying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch “ON” invites accidents. 19. 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. 20. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury. 21. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety mea- sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. 22. Maintain power tools. Check for misalign- ment 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. 23. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,

WARNING: The voltage specifications on the rating plate must correspond with the supply

voltage. This impact wrench is equipped with a rocker switch that switches the rotation from clockwise to counter-clockwise easily, allowing fasteners to be broken loose. Pressing the lower part of the switch causes the impact wrench to move clockwise. Pressing the upper part of the switch causes the rotation to reverse. OPERATION WARNING: Always unplug the tool before changing accessories. MAINTENANCE The impact wrench will require lubrication after 30 continuous hours or 50 intermittent hours of use. Contact an approved service center for lubrication services. NOTICE: UNPLUG WRENCH BEFORE INSPECTING BRUSHES! The brushes should pierdically inspected for repair. Unscrew the plastic caps located on the side of the motor housing to reveal the spring and brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and freely sliding. Symbols are inscribed on the brushes, and if it is worn down to the line closest to the spring, replace immediately. ACCESSORIES Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso- ries that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets. If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experience a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord (see table below).
