WARNING! Read all
safety warnings and all

instructions.

Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains­operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.

1. Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well
lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.

Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to
lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.

Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.

There is an
increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools
to rain or wet conditions.

Water
entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.

Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.

Use of an RCD

reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a) 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

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

JCB, SO53 3LE

Customer Helpline 0333 0143092

of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection.

Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off­position 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

JCB, SO53 3LE
www.JCBDIY.com
Customer Helpline 0333 0143092

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.

SCREW DRIVER AND
IMPACT WRENCH SAFETY
WARNING

PROBLEM SOLUTION

I CANNOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BATTERY CHARGER.
WHY?

a) Check if the charger and the battery pack are specifically designed for working
together.
b) The battery can be inserted into the charger only in one direction. Turn the battery
around until it can be inserted into the slot, the indicator light should be red when the
battery is charging.

REASONS FOR DIFFERENT CHARGING TIMES

Battery charging time can be affected for many reasons which are not defects in your
product.
a) If the battery pack is only partly discharged it may be re-charged in less than 1 hour.
b) If the battery pack and ambient temperature are very cold then re-charging may
take 1-1.5 hours.
c) If the battery pack is very hot it will not re-charge because the internal temperature
safety cutout will prevent charging it. If the battery pack is very hot you must remove
your battery pack from the charger and allow your battery pack to cool first to ambient
temperature and then recharging can be started.

MAINTENANCE

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
