Safety Warnings for
cordless impact screwdrivers
Batteries and charger
• Take your time to evaluate the work to be done and
make sure you have taken all the necessary precautions
before you start drilling.
• Adjust the accessory correctly.
DANGER
• Use only batteries specifically designed
for the tool. Other batteries may create a risk of injury or
fire.
DANGER
• Make sure the switch is in the OFF
position before inserting the battery or it will start to
operate unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury.
• Connect the charger only to an alternating current (AC)
supply.
DANGER
• Do not use the charger outdoors.
• Observe "+/-" polarity when charging.
• Never recharge a leaking battery.
• Do not use batteries or the charger for purposes other
than those for which they were designed.
• Do not modify the contacts of the battery or the charger.
• Never expose the batteries to temperatures above 122 °F
DANGER
• Never expose batteries to fire, they could
explode.
CAUTION
• The batteries must be kept away from
any metallic object such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or any other object that could cause the terminals
to make contact; it could cause a short circuit that could
cause burns or fire.
CAUTION
• Under extreme conditions, battery fluid
may leak. If so, avoid any contact. If accidental contact
occurs, wash with abundant water, rinse with lemon juice
and vinegar. If the liquid enters in contact with the eyes,
wash with abundant water during several minutes and look
for medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the
batteries could cause irradiation or burns.
CAUTION
• To maximize battery life, fully discharge
the battery at least once a month. Do not leave the battery
uncharged for more than three months. Always charge the
battery to its maximum capacity. Before using the machine
for the first time, charge the battery for a minimum of 1
hour and 30 minutes.
• Avoid stopping constantly while screwing to avoid
damage to the battery.
Choose the adequate accessory
CAUTION
• Use only screwdriver bits recommended
by
.
• Keep the screwdriver bits in good condition. This reduces
the load on the tool and extends its service life.
CAUTION
• Turn off and unplug the tool before
reversing the direction of rotation of the chuck and before
installing or replacing a bit. Use auxiliary handles, if
provided with the tool. Losing control may cause personal
injury.
When operating the screwdriver

screws. IT IS NOT A DRILL.
• This is a light duty tool; it should not be used to remove
or install screws requiring high torque.
• Do not attempt to modify the tool or its accessories in
any way.
• Turn the screwdriver on after installing the bits.
• Use extreme caution when driving slotted head screws as
the tool may slip.

WARNING
Choking hazard! Children can swallow
small parts and suffocate. Keep children away from small
parts.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wires or its own power
cord.
• Fasteners that come in contact with an energized cord
can make the metal parts of the power tool live and, as a
result, cause an electric shock to the operator.
• Use ear protectors when performing services that make
noises above 85 dB. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
• Use a dust mask and dust extraction equipment if
necessary. Remember that working with materials such as
asbestos, lead paints, additives, some types of wood,
metals or minerals is highly toxic.
