WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, the user must read and understand the Owner’s Manual before using this product. Save these instructions for future reference.

WARNING

• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

  • Lead from lead-based paints.
  • Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
  • Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
  To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

  • Work in a well-ventilated area.
  • Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications 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-operated (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 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.

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 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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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.

• 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 energising 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 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 jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 dust collection can reduce dustrelated 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.
  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 was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with 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 power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power 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. Power 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 tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• 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 accidentally 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 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.
  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 authorized service providers.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR IMPACT DRIVER

• 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.

WARNING

• Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, the direction-of-rotation (forward/center-lock/reverse) selector should always be locked in the center position when the tool is not in use or carrying it at your side.
  Direction-of-Rotation (Forward/Center-Lock/Reverse) Selector

• After tool use, lock the direction-of-rotation selector in the “OFF” position (center-lock) to help prevent accidental starts and possible injury.

Your tool is equipped with a direction-of-rotation selector, located above the variable-speed trigger switch. This selector is used to change the direction of rotation of the bit and to lock the variable-speed trigger in the “OFF” (center-lock) position (Fig. 3).
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the far right of the tool for forward rotation.
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the far left of the tool for reverse rotation.
c. Position the switch in the “OFF” (center-lock) position to help reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use.

NOTICE:

• To prevent gear damage, always allow the impact driver to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
• The impact driver will not run unless the direction-of-rotation selector is engaged fully to the left or to the right.

Variable-Speed Trigger Switch
Your tool is equipped with a variable-speed trigger switch. The tool can be turned “ON” or “OFF” by depressing or releasing the variable-speed trigger switch.
The variable-speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure (Fig. 4).

LED Light
Your tool is equipped with an LED light, located on the base of the tool. This provides additional light on the surface of the workpiece for operation in lower-light areas.
The LED light will automatically turn on with a slight squeeze on the variable-speed trigger switch before the tool starts running, and will turn off 8 to 12 seconds after the variablespeed trigger switch is released.
The LED light will rapidly flash when the tool and/or battery pack becomes overloaded or too hot, and the internal sensors will turn the tool off. Rest the tool for a while or place the tool and battery pack separately under airflow for to cool them.

Removable Belt Clip

Your tool is equipped with a removable belt clip that can be positioned on the left side of the tool for convenient transport.
Install the belt clip onto the tool:
a. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Align the rib of the belt clip with the threaded hole on the base of the tool.
c. Insert the screw and securely tighten the screw with a screwdriver.
Remove the belt clip from the tool:
d. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
e. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw that attaches the belt clip to the impact driver.
f. Remove the screw and the belt clip.
The LED light will flash more slowly to indicate that the battery is at low battery capacity. Recharge the battery pack.

Install and Remove Bits

Your tool is equipped with a quick-change collet, making bit installation and removal very easy.
Lock the variable-speed trigger switch “OFF” by placing the direction-of- rotation selector in the center position.

To install the bit:
Pull the locking sleeve forward, insert the bit as far as it will go into the collet, and release the locking sleeve to lock the bit. (Fig. 7)

To remove the bit:
Pull the locking sleeve forward. Pull the bit from the collet and release the sleeve.

NOTICE: Use only bits with power grooves; other bits can be used with a universal bit holder that has power groove. Do not use bits that have a damaged shank.
WARNING Use protective gloves when removing the bit from the tool, or first allow the bit to cool down. The bit may be hot after prolonged use.

Tighten and Loosen Nuts and Bolts
Variable-speed control must be used with caution for driving nuts and bolts with socketset attachments. The best technique is to start slowly, increase speed as the nut or bolt runs down, and then set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the tool to a stop. If this procedure is not followed, the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hand when the nut orbolt seats.

a. Install a suitable bit.
b. Apply just enough pressure to keep the bit engaged on the screw or nut.
c. Apply minimal pressure to the variable-speed trigger switch initially. Increase the speed only when full control can be maintained.
NOTICE:
a. Always use the correct type and size of bit for your application.
b. When turning in a screw at/near the cross-cut end or an edge of wood, pre-drill a hole in order to avoid cracking of the wood.
c. When screw driving in hardwood, one should pre-drill a hole.
WARNING Do not over-tighten, as the force of the impact driver can break the fastener. Keep the impact driver at a right angle to the fastener to avoid damaging the fastener head.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.
