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 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting/scraping tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting/scraping 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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. 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 safety rules for impact wrenches

This impact wrench kit is designed for removing and installing nuts and bolts, and has been designed as a general purpose tool kit for DIYers and hobbyists.

Disconnect the impact wrench from the power supply before changing tools or accessories, servicing and during non-operation.

Always wear safety glasses and using hearing protection during operation. Exposure to noise may cause hearing loss.

Do not wear loose fitting clothing and jewellery which may become caught in moving parts and result in serious injury.

Always use impact-quality sockets only. Do not use handtool sockets, damaged or sockets.

Always ensure that sockets must be securely attached prior to use.

Only use sockets that are in good condition.

Never trigger the tool when it has not been placed in applied to a work object.

Sockets must be correctly attached.

Disconnect the power supply before installing sockets or performing any maintenance.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Avoid accidental starting. Check and make sure that the switch is off before plugging in. When carrying the tool be careful and pay attention to where you place your hand and fingers as the switch can invite accidents.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
