• Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure it
has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is in a
safe electrical condition.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
• Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your
tool rating plate voltage.
• Your tool is double insulated for additional protection
against a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
• Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden
power cables and pipes.
• Be careful, after long working periods external metal parts
and accessories could be hot.
• Do not put pressure on the impact wrench, such that it
slows the motor down. Allow the impact wrench socket to
