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.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.
c) 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 fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modifi ed.
Damaged or modifi ed
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fi re, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fi re or temperature above 130°C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specifi ed in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specifi ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fi re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
b) Never service damaged 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. This is a portable tool for tightening and loosening
screws, bolts and nuts. Use it only for these operation.
2. Make sure to securely hold the tool during operation.
Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries. (Fig. 2)
3. Preparing and checking the work environment. Make
sure that the work site meets all the conditions laid forth
in the precautions.
4. Check the actual tightening torque with a torque wrench.
5. Stop the tool before switching the direction of rotation.
Always release the switch and wait for tool to stop before
switching the direction of rotation.
6. Never touch the turning part. Do not allow the turning
part section to get near your hands or any other part of
your body. You could be cut or caught in the turning part.
Also, be careful not to touch the turning part after using
continuously it for a long time. It gets quite hot and could
burn you.
7. Please use the designated attachments which are
listed in the operations manual and HiKOKI's catalog.
Accidents or injuries could result from not doing so.
8. After installing the driver bit, pull lightly out the bit to
make sure that it does not come loose during use. If the
guide sleeve does not return to its original position, then
the bit is not installed properly.
9. Resting the unit after continuous work.
10. The motor may stop in the event the tool is overloaded. In
this should occur, release the tool's switch and eliminate
the cause of the overload.
Avoid touching the front case which can heat up during
continuous operation.
11. Do not touch the metal parts, as it gets very hot during
continuous work.
12. The use of the battery in a cold condition (below 0 degree
Centigrade) can sometimes result in the weakened
tightening torque and reduced amount of work. This,
however, is a temporary phenomenon, and returns to
normal when the battery warms up.
13. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
Wipe off any dirt or grime attached to the lens of the LED
light with a soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the
lens.
Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result in
decreased brightness.
14. Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
When electing to carry the tool hooked to your hip belt,
make sure to detach the tool bit. Failure to do so may
result in unexpected injury.
15. Always use the tool and battery at temperatures between
-5°C and 40°C.
16. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature of
0°C–40°C.
17. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
18. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
19. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-
circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current
and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.
20. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
21. 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.
22. 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.
