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 unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-
ers.
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 dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly 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 instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Safety Rules for Cordless Impact Drivers
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 opera-
tor an electric shock.
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 unavoid-
able, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this worksite.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protec-
tion when using this tool.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to

Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
Use power tools only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat-
tery 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 con-
nection 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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest peri-
ods. 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.
Unstable support can cause loss of control
and injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the for-
ward/reverse switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying ap-
pliances with your finger on the switch or in-
serting the battery pack into an appliance with
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove battery pack before changing ac-
cessories. Accidental starting may occur
because battery appliances with a battery in-
serted are in the operative condition.
Be prepared for a reaction torque when
