c)  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 
the switch is in the off position before 
connecting to power source and/or battery 
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 
Carrying power tools with your finger on the 
switch or energising power tools that have the 
switch on invites accidents.
d)  Remove any adjusting key or wrench 
before turning the power tool on. A wrench 
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the 
power tool may result in personal injury.
e)  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 
and balance at all times. This enables 
better control of the power tool in unexpected 
situations.
f)  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and 
gloves away from moving parts. Loose 
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in 
moving parts. 
g)  If devices are provided for the connection 
of dust extraction and collection facilities, 
ensure these are connected and properly 
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)  Do not force the power tool. Use the 
correct power tool for your application. The 
correct power tool will do the job 
better and safer at the rate for which it 
was designed.
b)  Do not use the power tool if the switch 
does not turn it on and off. Any power 
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch 
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)  Disconnect the plug from the power source 
and/or the battery pack from 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.
d)  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.
e)  Maintain power tools. Check for 
misalignment or binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other condition 
that may affect the power tool’s operation. 
If damaged, have the power tool repaired 
before use. Many accidents are caused by 
poorly maintained power tools.
f)  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are 
easier to control.
g)  Use the power tool, accessories and 
tool bits etc., in accordance with these 
instructions 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.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)  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.
b)  Use power tools only with specifically 
designated battery packs. Use of any 
other battery packs may create a risk of 
injury and fire.
c)  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.
d)  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 
ejected from the 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.
6) SERVICE
a)  Have your power tool serviced by a 
qualified repair person using only identical 
replacement parts. This will ensure that the 
safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Instructions for All 
Impact Wrench
  •  Hold power tools by insulated gripping 
surfaces when performing an operation where 
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or 
its own cord. Contact with a “live" wire will make 
exposed metal parts of the tool “live" and shock 
the operator.
 Residual  Risks 
 In spite of the application of the relevant safety 
regulations and the implementation of safety devices, 
certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
