Personal safety
1.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3.Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4.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.
5.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7.If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
8.Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH approved for the
specific hazards in the work area.

Battery tool use and care |
|
1.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.
2.Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3.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.
4.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.

Service
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.
Impact Wrench Safety Warnings
1.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.
2.The amount of actual torque may vary depending on the cleanness and condition of the threads and other factors. If tightening critical components, check the actual torque applied to the fastener with a mechanical torque wrench (not supplied).
3.Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4.Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
5.Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
6.When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
7.Do not leave the tool unattended when the Battery Pack is connected. Turn off the tool, and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
8.The battery Charger gets hot during use. The Charger’s heat can build up to unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to
an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger.
Especially avoid placing the Charger on carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they also obstruct vents under the Charger.
Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a stable metal workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area. Frequently monitor the Charger and
Battery Pack while charging.
9.This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
10.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
11.WARNING: The cord of this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
12.The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2.Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4.Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5.Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6.Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7.To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
