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.

 

Wear ear protectors with impact wrenches. 

Exposure 

to noise can cause hearing loss.

 

Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as 
the specific potential hazards related to this power 
tool. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric 

shock, fire, or serious injury.

 

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked 
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts, 
operating the tool, or performing maintenance.

 Fol-

lowing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal 
injury.

 

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the 
operation is dusty. 

Following this rule will reduce the 

risk of serious personal injury.

 

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection espe-
cially during extended periods of operation. 

Following 

this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. If 
at any time you become uncomfortable or the length of 
your task is long, hearing protection is recommended.

 

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating 
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not 

using your battery tool or when changing accessories. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, 
fire, or serious personal injury.

 

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire 
or heat. 

This will reduce the risk of explosion and pos-

sibly injury.



Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not 
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped 
or received a sharp blow. 

A damaged battery is subject 

to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged 
battery immediately.

 

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source 
of ignition, such as a pilot light. 

To reduce the risk of 

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product 
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can 
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water 
immediately.

 

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-
tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with 
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If 
liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water 
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical 
attention. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of seri-

ous personal injury.



Save these instructions. 

Refer to them frequently and 

use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you 
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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 provider.
