2. Algemene Veiligheidsinstruksies
Always observe the following safety precautions when using power tools to prevent electric shock, fire, and serious injury.
- Werksarea veiligheid: Hou die werkarea skoon en goed belig. Oorvol of donker areas nooi ongelukke uit. Moenie elektriese gereedskap in plofbare atmosfere gebruik nie, soos in die teenwoordigheid van vlambare vloeistowwe, gasse of stof.
- Elektriese veiligheid: Vermy liggaamskontak met geaarde of geaarde oppervlaktes soos pype, verkoelers, reekse en yskaste. Daar is 'n verhoogde risiko van elektriese skok as jou liggaam geaard of geaard is.
- Persoonlike veiligheid: Always wear eye protection. Use safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield. Wear hearing protection when operating the tool for extended periods. Dress properly; do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
- Gereedskap gebruik en versorging: Moenie die kraggereedskap forseer nie. Gebruik die korrekte kraggereedskap vir jou toepassing. Dit sal die werk beter en veiliger doen teen die tempo waarvoor dit ontwerp is. Ontkoppel die batterypak van die kraggereedskap voordat jy enige aanpassings maak, bykomstighede verander of kraggereedskap bêre.
- Gebruik en versorging van die batterypak: Herlaai slegs met die laaier wat deur die vervaardiger gespesifiseer word. 'n Herlaaier wat geskik is vir een tipe batterypak kan 'n brandrisiko skep wanneer dit saam met 'n ander batterypak gebruik word. Gebruik slegs elektriese gereedskap met spesifiek aangewese batterypakke.

- Voorwaartse rotasie (inskroef): Druk die kiesskakelaar na links.
- Reverse Rotation (Screwing Out): Druk die kiesskakelaar na regs.
- Sluitposisie: When the selector switch is in the middle position, the ON/OFF switch is locked, preventing accidental activation. Always engage the lock when not in use or when changing bits.
5.3 Using the Impact Driver
- Select the appropriate impact-resistant bit for your screw type and material.
- Position the bit firmly on the screw head.
- Start the tool by gently pressing the trigger, increasing pressure as needed. The impact mechanism will engage automatically when resistance is met, providing additional torque.
- Maintain a firm grip on the tool. The low reverse torque design helps reduce strain on the user.
