SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to 4 mode impact driver safety rules. If you use this
power tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting 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.
2. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
6. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
7. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
8. Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

MISUSE or failure to follow the safety

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using bat-
tery.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temper-
ature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
