the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7) 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.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
3) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns, or a fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of power
tool is maintained.

. INTENDED USE
This tool is a Cordless Impact Driver/Wrench
and can be used to tighten bolts, nuts, and
screws. Additionally, it provides a torque control
function that automatically stops tool operation
when a preset load is reached to deliver consis-
tent tightening torque. Additionally, a separately
available Assembly Qualifier can provide wire-
less monitoring to determine whether tightening
has been completed properly.
Read “the Safety Instructions” booklet
and the following before using.

. ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES
1) Wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
3) Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hid­
den wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
4) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse
lever when the main switch is on. The bat-
tery will discharge rapidly and damage to
the unit may occur.
5) During charging, the charger may become
slightly warm. This is normal.
Do NOT charge the battery for a long period.
6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the
Forward/Reverse lever to the center posi-
tion (switch lock).
