these operating instructions,

the “General safety instructions” on the handling of power tools in the enclosed booklet (leaflet no.: 315.915),

the currently valid site rules and the regulations for the prevention of accidents. This power tool is state of the art and has been constructed in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations. Nevertheless, when in use, the power tool may be a danger to life and limb of the user or a third party, or the power tool or other property may be damaged. The power tool may be operated only if it is

for its intended use,

in perfect working order. Faults which compromise safety must be repaired immediately. Intended use The IW 1/2" 18.0-EC / IW 1/2" 950 18.0-EC / ID 1/4" 18.0-EC / IW 3/4" 18.0-EC cordless impact driver is intended – for commercial use in industry and trade, – for tightening and releasing nuts and screws in the specified dimensions.IW 1/2" 18.0-EC / IW 1/2" 950 18.0-EC / ID 1/4" 18.0-EC / IW 3/4" 18.0-EC

Safety instructions for drills and drivers Hold the power tool by the 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. Use auxiliary handles if these are supplied with the power tool. The loss of control may result in injuries. Use suitable detectors to detect concealed power supply cables or consult your local supply company. Contact with electric cables may result in a fire and/or electric shock. A damaged gas pipe may cause an explosion. Cutting into a water pipe will cause damage to property. Switch off the power tool immediately when the cutting accessory jams. Be prepared for high reaction torques which cause kickback. The cutting accessory jams when: – the power tool is overloaded

– it snags in the workpiece to be machined. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool. High reaction torques can occur briefly when screws are tightened and released. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece is held more securely in a clamping device or vice than by hand. Wait until the power tool has come to a stop before putting it down. The cutting accessory may snag, causing the operator to lose control of the power tool. Use only original batteries with the voltage indicated on the type plate of your power tool. The use of other batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or other makes, increases the risk of injury and damage to property by exploding batteries. Safety instructions for handling batteries Do not open the battery. Short-circuiting hazard! Protect the battery against heat, including prolonged sunshine, fire, water and moisture. Explosion hazard! A damaged or incorrectly used battery may result in the emission of fumes. Ensure a supply of fresh air and consult a doctor in the event of any physical complications. The fumes may irritate the respiratory tracts. Liquid may leak out of the battery if the battery is incorrectly used. Avoid contact with such liquid. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical attention. Liquid discharged from the battery may cause irritation or burns. Recharge batteries only with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a fire hazard when used with another battery.

The battery may be damaged by pointed objects such as e.g. nails or screwdrivers or by external application of force. This may give rise to an internal short circuit, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat. Special safety instructions Before carrying out any work on the power tool, move the direction preselector switch to the middle position. Operate the direction preselector switch or torque setting turning dial only when the tool is stopped. Identify the power tool with stickers only. Do not drill any holes into the housing.IW 1/2" 18.0-EC / IW 1/2" 950 18.0-EC / ID 1/4" 18.0-EC / IW 3/4" 18.0-EC

Noise and vibration NOTE The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841. The values are set out in the “Technical data” table. WARNING! The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change. NOTE The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a measurement method standardised in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The specified vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different cutting accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission level may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

make an accurate estimation of the vibration exposure level, it is also necessary to take into account the times when the tool is switched off or running but not actually in use. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the cutting accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns. CAUTION! Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).IW 1/2" 18.0-EC / IW 1/2" 950 18.0-EC / ID 1/4" 18.0-EC / IW 3/4" 18.0-EC

Maintenance and care Cleaning WARNING! If metals are worked over a prolonged period, electroconductive dust may become deposited inside the housing. Clean the power tool and ventilation slots at regular intervals. Frequency of cleaning is dependent on the material machined and the duration of use. Regularly blow out the housing interior and motor with dry compressed air. Keep the power tool running while doing this. Repairs Repairs may be carried out by an authorised customer service centre only. Spare parts and accessories For other accessories, in particular cutting accessories, please refer to the manufacturer’s catalogues. Exploded drawings and spare-part lists can be found on our homepage: www.flex-tools.com Transport The lithium equivalent content of the batteries contained in the scope of delivery is below the relevant limit values.
