Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools
designated battery packs.

CORDLESS IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. 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.
only with specifi cally
batteries may exhibit

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Setting up and checking the work environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by the above
precautions.
2. Use the earplugs if using for a long time.
3. If the guide sleeve does not return to its original position,
then the bit is not installed properly.
4. Applying the impact driver for too long tightens the screw
too much and can break it.
Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an angle to
that screw can damage the head of the screw and the
proper force will not be transmitted to the screw.
Tighten with this impact driver lined up straight with the
screw.
5. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation.
Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries.
(Fig. 1)
6. After installing the driver bit, pull lightly out the bit to
make sure that it does not come loose. If the bit is not
installed properly, it can come loose during use, which
can be dangerous.
7. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
8. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
9. Never short-circuit
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
10. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
11. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased
as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too
short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted
battery.
12. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger. Inserting metal objects or infl ammables into the
charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock
hazard or damaged charger.
13. Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
14. After use for continuous bolt-tightening work, rest the
unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the battery. The
temperature of the motor, switch, etc., will rise if the work
is started again immediately after battery replacement,
eventually resulting in burnout.
15. Do not touch the metal parts, as it gets very hot during
continuous work.
16. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
17. Always use the tool and battery at temperatures between
-5°C and 40°C.
18. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature of
0°C - 40°C.
