5.  HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

•  There is a risk of danger to persons from high speed splinters being emitted from  
 

impact wrenches in the case of socket failure.

Warning!

 Only use properly hardened impact sockets with this machine.

– 

Unexpected direction of inserted tool movement can cause a hazardous situation.

– 

Use only sockets and adaptors which are in good condition and are intended for use with 
impact wrenches.

– 

Adopt a suitable posture to counteract normal or unexpected movement of the power 
tool due to reaction forces from the power assembly tool.

– 

Impact wrenches are not torque wrenches and are not designed or capable of installing 
fasteners to a specified torque. For fasteners requiring a specific torque, install the 
fastener to well below the required value then complete the task with a hand torque 
wrench to avoid damaging the fastener or workpiece.

– 

Ensure the anvil ring is correctly maintained and if damaged or missing, is replaced 
immediately before work commences. Missing or damaged anvil rings may lead to 
sockets detaching from the wrench while rotating at high speed.

– 

Only use accessories specifically hardened for impact use. Do not use standard chrome 
type hand tool sockets as they will shatter and splinter causing injury.

– 

Do not modify this impact wrench in any way.

– 

When starting or finishing the removal and installation of fasteners there is a risk of 
crushing between the tool and the workpiece due to sudden movement or reaction 
forces.

5.3 RESIDUAL RISK

Important note:

 Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools 

contain extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a 
certain residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools 
must therefore always be operated with caution!

5.4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY PACKS/CHARGERS

1.  The charger is for 

indoor

 use only.

2.  Prior to plugging the charger in to the supply, check that the plug and the cable are in 

good repair. If either are damaged, have the defective item replaced immediately by a 
suitably qualified person. If the casing of the battery charger is damaged, it is good policy 
to have the charger checked over by a suitably qualified person.

3.  Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide power, do not plug into site generators, 

engine generators or D.C. sources. Do not use a mains socket outlet that is not switched.

4.  Only use the charger that was supplied with the battery pack, and vice versa.
5.  Do not attempt to charge battery packs that are too hot (over 30ºC) or too cold (under 

5ºC); if these conditions apply set the battery aside to "normalise" before proceeding 
with the charging operation.

6.  Set up the charger and cable in a safe place where it won't be knocked, tripped over, 

stepped on, etc. and where it is well ventilated; make sure the ventilation slots in the 
charger case are not obstructed.

7.  Inspect the battery pack for damage; if it is undamaged, plug it into the charger, ensuring 

the correct orientation. (Most chargers and batteries have 'keys' etc, to make sure the 
battery is not inserted incorrectly, if you are having to 'force' the battery into the charger, 
the chances are you have it the wrong way round, check and try again). If the battery has 
been dropped, it may have irreversible internal damage – this is not covered by the 
warranty.
