General safety instructions

Air supply and connection hazards

• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs.
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
• Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See in-structions for correct set up.
• Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be installed.
• Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 6.3 bar / 90 psig, or as stated on tool nameplate.

Entanglement hazards

• Keep away from rotating drive. Choking, scalping and /or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, gloves, jew-ellery, neck ware and hair are not kept away from tool and accessories.
• Gloves can become entangled with the rotating drive, causing severed or broken fingers.
• Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions can easily en-tangle rubber-coated or metal-reinforced gloves.
• Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with cut or frayed fingers.
• Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.

Projectile hazards

• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved with or near the operation, repair or main-tenance of the tool or changing accessories on the tool.

• Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face protection. Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.

• Serious injury can result from over-torqued or under-torqued fasteners, which can break, or loosen and sepa-rate. Released assemblies can become projectiles. Assem-blies requiring a specific torque must be checked using a torque meter.
  NOTE So-called “click” torque wrenches do not check for potentially dangerous over-torqued conditions.

• Never operate the tool off the work. It may run too fast and cause the accessory to be thrown off the tool.

• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.

Accessory hazards

• Use only proper accessory retainers (see parts list). Use deep sockets wherever possible.
• For tools using the pin and O-ring socket retention sys-tem, use the O-ring to retain the socket pin securely.
• Use only impact wrench rated sockets and accessories in good condition. Sockets in poor condition or hand sock-ets and accessories used with impact wrenches can shatter and become a projectile.
• Always use the simplest hook-up possible. Long, springy extension bars and adapters absorb impact power and could break. Use deep sockets wherever possible.
• Do not touch sockets or accessories during operation, as this increases the risk of cuts, burns or vibration injuries.

Operating hazards

• Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
• Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements – have both hands available.
• Do not use with reduced air pressure or in a worn condi-tion: the clutch may not operate, resulting in sudden rota-tion of the tool handle.
• Be in control of the throttle at all times. Do not get caught between the tool and the work.

Repetitive motion hazards

• When using a power tool to perform work-related activi-ties, the operator might experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.
• Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures. Changing posture during extended tasks can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
• Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop using the tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.

Noise and Vibration hazards

• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection as recommended by your employer or occupational health and safety regulations.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool, tell your employer and consult a physi-cian.
• Hold the tool in a light but safe grip because the risk from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher.
• Where possible use a suspension arm or fit a side handle.
• Select, maintain and replace the accessories and consum-able/inserted tool in accordance with the instructions manual, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
• Do not use worn or ill-fitting screwdriver bits, sockets or extensions, as this is likely to cause a substantial increase in vibration.

Workplace hazards

• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or work sur-face.
• Avoid inhaling dust or fumes or handling debris from the work process which can cause ill health (for example, cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis). Use dust extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment when working with materials which produce airborne particles.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemi-cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paints
• Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other ma-sonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rub-ber 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of potential hazards created by your work activity. This tool is not insulated from coming into contact with elec-tric power sources.
• This tool is not recommended for use in potentially ex-plosive atmospheres.
