This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of

exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instruc­tions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 100C or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration
tool use across a number of days.

GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS

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
mains-operated (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 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 off-position 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

WX292.2 WX292.9

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 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

8

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.

IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY
WARNING

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an

electric shock

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery

pack.

b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store

battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. 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.

c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid

storage in direct sunlight.

d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical

shock.

e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the

liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected area
with copious amounts of water and seek medical
advice.

f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or

battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry

cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.

Always refer to this instruction and use the

correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when

not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may

be necessary to charge and discharge the

battery pack several times to obtain maximum

performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance when it

is operated at normal room temperature
(20°C ± 5°C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep battery

packs of different electrochemical systems

separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified by

WORX. Do not use any charger other than that

specifically provided for use with the equipment.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack

may create a risk of fire when used with another battery

pack.

LED LIGHT INDICATOR

Before operation, the LED light
will be activated when the On/Off
switch is slightly depressed, and will
automatically turn off 10 seconds after
the On/Off switch is released.
The tool and battery are equipped with
a protection system. The LED Light will
quickly flash (approximately once a
second, and stop flashing when you
release the trigger ) , the system will
automatically cut off power to the tool
to extend battery life. The tool will
automatically stop during operation
if the tool and/or battery are placed
under one of the following conditions:

• Overloaded: The tool is operated
in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current. In this
situation, release the Trigger Switch on
the tool and stop the application that
caused the tool to become overloaded.
Then pull the Trigger Switch again to
restart.

• Overheated: Under the condition
above, if the tool does not start, the
Tool and Battery are overheated. In this
situation, let the Tool and Battery cool
before pulling the Trigger Switch again.

• Low battery voltage: The remaining
Battery capacity is too low and the
tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the Battery.

WARNING: To turn on the

TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. I CAN NOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE
BATTERY CHARGER. WHY?

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 red LED Light should turn
on when the battery is charging.

2. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK
WORKING TIMES

Charging time problems, as above, and having not
used a Battery Pack for a prolonged time will reduce
the Battery Pack working time. This can be corrected
after several charge and discharge operations by
charging & working with your drill. Heavy working
conditions such as large screws into hard wood will
use up the Battery Pack energy faster than lighter
working conditions. Do not re-charge your Battery
Pack below 0
performance.
