Electrical Safety  
Tool Use and Care  
4. A battery operated tool with integral bat-  
teries or a separate battery pack must be  
recharged only with the specified charger  
for the battery. A charger that may be suit-  
able for one type of battery may create a risk  
of fire when used with another battery.  
12. Use clamps or other practical way to  
secure and support the workpiece to a  
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or  
against your body is unstable and may lead  
to loss of control.  
13. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for  
your application. The correct tool will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for which it is  
designed.  
5. Use battery operated tool only with specif-  
ically designated battery pack. Use of any  
other batteries may create a risk of fire.  
14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it  
on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
Personal Safety  
6. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and  
use common sense when operating a  
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or  
medication. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in serious  
personal injury.  
15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or  
place the switch in the locked or off posi-  
tion before making any adjustments,  
changing accessories, or storing the tool.  
Such preventive safety measures reduce the  
risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-  
ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep  
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from  
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long  
hair can be caught in moving parts.  
16. Store idle tools out of reach of children  
and other untrained persons. Tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
17. 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 con-  
nection from one terminal to another.  
Shorting the battery terminals together may  
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.  
8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch  
is in the locked or off position before  
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with  
your finger on the switch or inserting the bat-  
tery pack into a tool with the switch on invites  
accidents.  
9. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches  
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a  
key that is left attached to a rotating part of  
the tool may result in personal injury.  
18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting  
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to  
bind and are easier to control.  
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times. Proper footing and  
balance enable better control of the tool in  
unexpected situations.  
19. Check for misalignment or binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any  
other condition that may affect the tool’s  
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-  
viced before using. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained tools.  
11. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must  
be used for appropriate conditions.  
20. Use only accessories that are recom-  
mended by the manufacturer for your  
model. Accessories that may be suitable for  
one tool may create a risk of injury when  
used on another tool.

22. 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 instructions may create a risk of  
shock or injury.  
SERVICE  
21. Tool service must be performed only by  
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-  
tenance performed by unqualified personnel  
may result in a risk of injury.  
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
USB025-2  
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from  
repeated use) replace strict adherence to cordless impact  
wrench safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly,  
you can suffer serious personal injury.  
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces  
when performing an operation where the

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost com-  
pletely, voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be  
reduced.  
2. Socket  
Failure to use the correct size socket will cause a  
reduction in the fastening torque.  
A worn socket (wear on the hex end or square end)  
will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.  
3. Bolt  
Even though the torque coefficient and the class of  
bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will  
differ according to the diameter of bolt.  
Even though the diameters of bolts are the same, the  
proper fastening torque will differ according to the  
torque coefficient, the class of bolt and the bolt  
length.  
4. The use of the universal joint or the extension bar some-  
what reduces the fastening force of the impact wrench.  
Compensate by fastening for a longer period of time.  
5. The manner of holding the tool or the material of driving  
position to be fastened will affect the torque.  
6. Operating the tool at low speed will cause a reduction in  
the fastening torque.  
MAINTENANCE  
CAUTION:  
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the  
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to  
perform inspection or maintenance.

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.
