Are there times NOT to use an impact wrench?

I second James' counsel. I'd add - I never use an impact to tighten anything. Only to loosen. Once it's apart, cleaned up, lubed - should go back together with regular hand tools and a torque wrench. I will use a battery operated to run up nuts/bolts that have a lot of threads -- lug nuts for example. But once they bottom, hand tools.
