1. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, and serious injury.
1.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
- Work area safety: Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Electrical safety: Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase 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.
- 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.
1.2 Specific Safety Instructions for Impact Drivers
- Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- 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.
- Always ensure the battery pack is securely latched before operation.
