avoid these risks, follow these basic safety instructions:
1. Never use this tool handle for any application other than those in this manual.
2. Never place hands or other body parts near the drill bit or chuck during operation.
Hold the impact driver by its handle only.
3. When working in high places, always make sure that there is no one below before starting to work.

Always have the screw you are screwing in and this impact driver in a straight line. Working with this impact driver at
an angle to the screw can damage the screw head and will not give the prescribed tightening torque. (Impact driver)
8. Confirm whether the socket has any crack in it. (Impact wrench)
9. Attach the hex. socket securely onto the anvil. If the hex. socket is insufficiently secured, it may drop out and
cause an accident. For hex. socket attachment refer to “OPERATION”.

torque to be used. (Impact wrench)
11. If a universal joint is used, be sure not to operate the unit in a no-load condition. Operating in this condition
is dangerous. When the socket section spins around it may cause injury to hands or bodies, or the resulting
intense vibration may cause the user to drop the tool. (Impact wrench)
