Safety Instructions

General Safety Warnings:

• Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool.
• Failure to follow all instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
• Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
• Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection.
• Do not operate the tool in wet conditions or expose it to rain.
• Keep work area clean and well-lit.
• Do not use the tool if it is damaged.

Impact Screwdriver 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. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Do not inhale dust produced during operation; wear a suitable dust protection mask.
• Do not machine materials that present a health hazard (e.g., asbestos).
• Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls. Do not switch the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this.
• Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
• The insertion tool may become hot during use. Beware of burns when changing tools or setting the device down.
• Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
• When working in walls, ceilings, or floors, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.
• Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.

Battery Information

Battery Pack Protection:

• In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 2 seconds and then turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
• If the internal temperature of the battery becomes too high, the battery will shut down. Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.

Transporting Lithium Batteries:

• Lithium-ion batteries are subject to Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
• Transportation must be done in accordance with local, national, and international provisions and regulations.
• For commercial transport by third parties, ensure compliance with Dangerous Goods regulations.
• Ensure battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuits.
• Ensure battery packs are secured against movement within packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.

Operation

Starting and Stopping:

• Press the trigger switch to start the tool.
• Release the trigger switch to stop the tool.

RPM Setting:

• The RPM setting feature provides greater control in application and reduces damage to the fastener or work surface by automatically shutting off the tool after it senses the mechanism impacting for approximately one second.

Impact Techniques:

• The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the tighter it will become.
• To help prevent damaging fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting.
• Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of time required to reach the desired torque.
• Check the tightness with a hand-torque wrench.
• If fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time.
• If they are not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
• Oil, dirt, rust, or other matter on the threads or under the head of the fastener affects the degree of tightness.

Checking Torque:

• It is recommended to always check the torque with a torque wrench after fastening.

Technical Data

Noise/vibration information:

• The A-weighted noise levels are typically: Sound pressure level 95.4 dB(A), Sound power level 106.4 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3dB(A).
• The vibration emission value (a_hv) is typically 17.3 m/s² or 17.4 m/s² for impact tightening of fasteners of the maximum capacity of the tool. Uncertainty K=1.5 m/s².
• Wear ear protectors.
