b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain power tools.

Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the power tools operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting/scraping tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting/scraping tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,

in accordance with these instructions and in the

manner intended for the particular type of power

tool, taking into account the working conditions and

the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

5. Service
a. 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.

Additional safety rules for impact wrenches

This impact wrench kit is designed for removing and

installing nuts and bolts, and has been designed as a

general purpose tool kit for DIYers and hobbyists.

Disconnect the impact wrench from the power supply

before changing tools or accessories, servicing and

during non-operation.

Always wear safety glasses and using hearing

protection during operation. Exposure to noise may

cause hearing loss.

Do not wear loose fitting clothing and jewellery which

may become caught in moving parts and result in

serious injury.

Always use impact-quality sockets only. Do not use

handtool sockets, damaged or sockets.

Always ensure that sockets must be securely attached

prior to use.

Only use sockets that are in good condition.

Never trigger the tool when it has not been placed in

applied to a work object.

Sockets must be correctly attached.

Disconnect the power supply before installing sockets or

performing any maintenance.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as

pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

Avoid accidental starting. Check and make sure that the

switch is off before plugging in. When carrying the tool be

careful and pay attention to where you place your hand

and fingers as the switch can invite accidents.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. Proper footing and balance enables better control

of the tool in unexpected situations.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil

and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.

Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based

products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control

and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
