SAFETY WARNINGS

IMPACT WRENCH SAFETY WARNINGS

  • 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.
  • Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
  • Dust created by operating the product can cause respiratory injury. Wear appropriate dust control mask with filters suitable for protecting against particles from the material being worked on.
  • Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
  • The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not switch on the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the product stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
  • Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0 °C and 40° C.
  • Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0 °C and 40° C.
  • The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10 °C and 38° C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

  • To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
  • Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C and 40°C.
  • Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 20°C.

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.

WARNING

  • The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
  • The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ.
  • These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
  • Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
