SPECIFIC RULES FOR YOUR IMPACT WRENCH
1. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases the
risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
2. PERSONAL SAFETY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when using
the wrench. Tie back long hair. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they might get drawn in by the tool.
3. PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK. Only hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
in case the drive contacts hidden wiring or its own cord. Contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Make sure to keep the drive bit away from any power
cables, extension cords or wiring during operation.
4. TOOL INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool for any damage or missing parts. Do not use the tool if any
part is missing or damaged. Make sure all adjustments are correct and all connections are tight.
5. STANDING POSITION. Always be sure you have a firm footing. When operating the tool from an elevated position,
be aware of people or things beneath you.
6. SECURING THE WORKPIECE. Secure loose workpieces using vises or clamps to prevent wobble, damage to the
workpiece, and personal injury.
7. DURING OPERATION. To prevent injury, use both hands to operate the impact wrench, placing one hand on the
handle and the other hand on the front housing. Keep your hands, hair and other beloved body parts away from the
rotating components of the tool.
8. TURNING OFF THE TOOL. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving. Do not lay the
tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation.
They may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
9. MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Always turn off and unplug the impact wrench before making adjustments or changing
attachments. Accidental start-ups may occur if the tool is plugged in during adjustment or maintenance.
10. HOLD POWER TOOL BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES, when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
WARNING: Do not operate the heat gun until you have read and understood the following instructions
and the warning labels.
