Important Safety Instructions For Use Of The Cordless Impact Driver / Wrench

Page 4 highlights

(8) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. (9) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool. 5. Service (1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. (2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instruction may create a risk of electric shock or injury. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: ● Lead from lead-based paints, ● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and ● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. 2. Never touch moving parts. Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the tool's moving parts. 3. Never operate without all guards in place. Never operate this tool without all guards or safety features in place and in proper working order. If maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard or safety feature before resuming operation of the tool. 4. Use right tool. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended -for example- don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs. 5. Never use a power tool for applications other than those specified. Never use a power tool for applications other than those specified in the Instruction Manual. 6. Handle tool correctly. Operate the tool according to the instructions provided herein. Do not drop or throw the tool. Never allow the tool to be operated by children, individuals unfamiliar with its operation or unauthorized personnel. 7. Definitions for symbols V volts no no load speed direct current ---/min revolutions or reciprocation per minute 8. Keep all screws, bolts and covers tightly in place. Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted. Check their condition periodically. 9. Do not use power tools if the plastic housing or handle is cracked. Cracks in the tool's housing or handle can lead to electric shock. Such tools should not be used until repaired. 10. Blades and accessories must be securely mounted to the tool. Prevent potential injuries to yourself or others. Blades, cutting implements and accessories which have been mounted to the tool should be secure and tight. 11. Never use a tool which is defective or operating abnormally. If the tool appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service center. 12. Carefully handle power tools. Should a power tool be dropped or struck against hard materials inadvertently, it may be deformed, cracked, or damaged. 13. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent. Solvents such as gasoline, thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
