Safety Warnings for Impact Wrenches

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.

Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.

Only use impact-resistant bits and sockets as application tools. Only these application tools are suitable for impact screwdrivers.

Hold the power tool securely. When tightening and loosening screws be prepared for temporarily high torque reactions.

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.

Application tools can become hot during operation. There is a risk of burns when changing the application tool. Use protective gloves to remove the application tool.

WARNING

Ensure that the coin cell is kept out of the reach of children. Coin cells are dangerous.

Coin cells must never be swallowed or inserted into any other part of the body. If you suspect that someone has swallowed a coin cell or that a coin cell has entered the body in another way, seek medical attention immediately. Swallowing coin cells can result in severe internal burns and death within 2 hours.

Ensure that coin cell replacement is carried out properly. There is a risk of explosion.

Only use the coin cells listed in this operating manual. Do not use any other coin cells or other forms of electrical power supply.

Do not attempt to recharge the coin cell and do not short circuit the coin cell. The coin cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.

Remove and dispose of drained coin cell correctly. Drained coin cell may leak and damage the product or cause personal injury.

Do not overheat the coin cell or throw it into fire. The coin cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.

Do not damage the coin cell and take the coin cell apart. The coin cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.

Do not allow damaged coin cells to come into contact with water. Leaking lithium may mix with water to create hydrogen, which could cause a fire, an explosion, or personal injury.

Caution! When using the power tool with Bluetooth®, a fault may occur in other devices and systems, aeroplanes and medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing aids). Also, damage to people and animals in the immediate vicinity cannot be completely excluded. Do not use the power tool with Bluetooth® in the vicinity of medical devices, petrol stations, chemical plants, areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere or in blasting areas. Do not use the power tool with Bluetooth® in aircraft. Avoid using the product near your body for extended periods.
