RYOBI R18IW3 3-Speed Cordless Impact Wrench
INTENDED USE
Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your impact wrench. The product is intended for fastening and removing screws and bolts using an impact socket Do not use the product in any way other than those stated for intended use.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all 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.
IMPACT WRENCH SAFETY WARNINGS
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fastener contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations. Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The operator should pay particular and additional attention to these points in order to reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
- Injury to hearing Wear suitable ear protection and limit exposure.
- Injury to sight Wear protective eye shields or goggles when using the product.
- Injury caused by vibration Limit exposure and follow the instructions on risk reduction in this manual.
- Electric shock after contact with hidden wires Hold the product only by insulated surfaces.
- Respiratory injury Dust created by operating the product, wear suitable protection dependent on type of dust.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
- Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
- After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
- Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or
when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
WARNING
When servicing use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
- Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
- Do not use compressed air to blow dust / dirt from any power tool. Serious eye injury could result. Use a cloth, brush or vacuum to remove dust and dirt.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products,
penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
- Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for extended work on these types of materials.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power
tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
- For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an authorised Ryobi service centre.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in the product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of
high grade lubricant for the life span of the product under normal operating
conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

Recycle raw materials instead of disposing of as waste. The machine,
accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly
recycling.

WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured
in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over
the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration
should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when
it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the
exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety
measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as:
maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of
work patterns.
