General Safety Instructions

Always observe basic safety precautions when using electric tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Keep this manual for future reference.

Work Area Safety

• Keep the 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.
• 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.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as 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 battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

4. Impact Mechanism

The impact mechanism engages when the tool encounters resistance, providing high torque for fastening or loosening stubborn bolts and nuts. This mechanism reduces kickback to the user.

5. General Operation Tips

• Always hold the tool firmly with both hands during operation.
• Ensure the socket is fully engaged with the fastener to prevent stripping.
• For critical fastening applications, always verify the final torque with a calibrated torque wrench.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

• Before cleaning, always remove the battery pack from the tool.
• Wipe the tool's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Keep ventilation openings clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.

2. Battery Care and Storage

• Store battery packs in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not store battery packs in a discharged state for extended periods. Charge them periodically if not in use.
• Do not short-circuit battery terminals.

3. General Storage
