WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc- tions, illustrations and specifica- tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated(corded) power tool or battery-oper- ated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, 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 operat- ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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 electric 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 condi- tions. 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 a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

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

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn ver it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. ny will
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, Eric changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of di- starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the For power tool or these instructions to operate the ol. power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. or
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that of may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many ac- cidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. ase an of is
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 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 instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those 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.

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 packs. Use of any other battery 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 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 ac- cidentally 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 behaviour 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 instructions. Charging improperly in the at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a 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 authorised service providers.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR IMPACT WRENCHES

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fasterner 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.

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

Torque values depend on many factors such as state of battery discharge, battery size, impacting time, bolt size, etc. Always check with a torque wrench to ensure desired torque value is achieved. This is not a precision fastening tool.
Auto Shut-Off Mode
In mode, when run in reverse, the tool will spin at the above RPM and IPM until the nut breaks free from the joint. Then, the tool slows to 750 RPM for better control in removing the nut..
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mechanism, the control switch can only be adjusted when the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the control switch.
For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the right side of the tool. Check the direction of rotation before use.
For reverse (anticlockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the tool. Check direction of rotation before use.
To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the center position. The trigger will not work while the control switch is in the centre locked position. Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before performing maintenance, changing accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use. Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed

1. To start the tool, grasp the handle(s) firmly and pull the trigger.
   NOTE: A LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled and will go off shortly after the trigger is released.

2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.

3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Ensure the tool has come to a complete stop before laying the tool down.

Impacting Techniques
The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller fasteners because they require less impacting to reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of time required to reach the desired torque. Check the tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under the head of the fastener affects the degree of tightness. The torque required to loosen a fastener averages 75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench for final tightening.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the battery pack, charger, or tool, except as provided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger to a MILWAUKEE® service facility for repair. If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE® service facility for repairs.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include petrol, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
