WARNING
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. 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. The term “power tool” in all the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
General Safety Rules

• It is your responsibility to make this safety information available to others that will operate this product. Failure to follow standards and regulations can cause personal injury.
  • Always install, operate, inspect and maintain this product in accordance with all applicable standards and regulations (local, state, country, federal, etc.). Compliance is your responsibility. Failure to follow standards and regulations can cause personal injury.

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Be aware of buried, hidden or other hazards in your work environment. Do not contact or damage cords, conduits, pipes or hoses that may contain electrical wires, explosive gases or harmful liquids. Electric shock, fire or personal  injury may result.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Always use specified supply voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause electrical shock, fire, abnormal operation and may result in personal injury.
• Be sure all electric cords & cables are the correct size & all plugs & connectors are tightly secured. Under-sized wire and looseconnections can cause electrical shock, fire and may result in personal injury.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power  tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power  tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

• Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust and particles created by power tool use.
  – Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
  – Lead from lead based paints,
  – Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  – Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
  – Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Stop using any tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Vibration, repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful to your hands and arms. Power tools can vibrate in use. Seek medical advice before resuming use.

• The vibration emission during actual use of power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. Take appropriate safety measure to protect the operator, based on an estimation of exposure during actual usage.

• Avoid contact with moving parts of tool. Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their motion after power is removed creating a risk of entanglement or other personal injury.

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce  the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool serviced before using.  Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Keep handles clean and dry to maintain control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use  of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• When wearing gloves always be sure that the gloves will not prevent the throttle mechanism from being released. Personal injury may result.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label. Labels provide information required for safe use of the product.
• When a secondary handle is supplied, ensure it is properly installed and use two hands to maintain control when operating tool.

Battery Tool Use and Care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other battery pack 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 connection 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 accidently occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause  irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and  increase the risk of fire.
• Ensure switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in a locked off position before making any adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Electric tools will overheat if they remain on when the tool motor is severely loaded, stalled or otherwise kept from rotating. Turn tool off when this occurs. Continuing to power tool in this condition may result in heat, smoke or  fire with injury or property damage.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool before storing tool or placing in a tool box or bag. Accidental starting while storing or transporting may cause several hazardous conditions including an overheated tool. Uncontrolled tool operation may cause various hazards including heat, smoke or fire.
• Do not block the housing cooling air holes as this may cause overheating of the tool. Use of the tool in this condition may result in heat, smoke or fire with injury or property damage.
• The tool may overheat during continuous use or other severe duty cycles. Immediately stop operation and let the tool cool if any part of the tool becomes too hot to touch or if there is any indication of smoke from the motor. Continuing to use the tool under these conditions will cause tool damage and may result in injury or property damage from heat or fire.
• Immediately stop use and replace any battery that gets excessively warm in use or offers very short usage times. Typically these batteries have a high number of charge/discharge cycles or may be old or damaged. Continuing to use  an impaired battery may result in injury or property damage from heat, fire or explosion.
• Do not modify this tool, safety devices, or accessories. Unauthorized modifications may result in electric shock, fire or personal injury.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by Ingersoll Rand for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label. Labels provide information required for safe use of the product.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
• When servicing a tool, use only genuine Ingersoll Rand replacement parts and follow all Maintenance Instructions. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire, incinerate or heat above 100 °C (212 °F). Batteries present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated.
• Responsibly recycle or dispose of batteries in accordance with all applicable standards and regulations (local, state, country, federal, etc.). Improper disposal may endanger the environment.

WARNING
Product Specific Safety Rules

• Hold tool by insulating gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
• For reversible models, note the position of the reversing mechanism before operating. Knowledge of the direction of rotation helps in maintaining control of the tool.
• Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not use hand (chrome) sockets or accessories. They may break in use and cause injury.
• Periodically check the drive end of the tool to make certain that the socket retainer functions correctly, and that sockets and drive ends are not excessively worn. Either condition may allow the socket to come off when rotating.
• Impact Wrenches are not torque wrenches. Connections requiring specific torque must be checked with a torque meter after fitting with an impact wrench. Improperly torqued fasteners may loosen and cause injury.
• Exposed throttles shall not be used where obstructions can hold the throttle in the “on” position. You may not be able to turn the tool off.
• Do not shine the beam into the eyes of a person or animal. Bright light may injure eyes.
