Use only power or impact sockets in good condition.
Do not use hand sockets.
•
When using a power tool, the operator may feel dis-
comfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of the body.
Vary between appropriate postures
throughout the work day, maintain a secure footing and
avoid awkward or off-balance postures.
•
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and ex-
posure to vibration can be harmful to hands and
arms.
If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the
skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
•
Take caution when operating in confined spaces.
Be-
ware of crushing hands between tool and workpiece.
•
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Use hearing protection as recommended by your em-
ployer or occupational health and safety regulations.
•
Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed
.
•
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
electric power sources.
• Avoid using tightening strategies in applications outside
their limitations.
• Major changes in joint characteristics will affect the op-
erator reaction force.
• Consider that a joint failure or a tool error can cause sud-
den unexpected reaction force and possibly injure the op-
erator.
• Position the equipment so that the disconnecting device
is within easy reach.
Tools used together with a reaction bar:
Never put your
hand near or close to the reaction bar while the tool is being
used. Be aware of the rotational direction of the spindle be-
fore starting the tool, the reaction force may work in an unex-
pected direction with risk of crushing injuries.
Tools containing a clutch:
Never use the product without
making sure the clutch releases. Immediately after adjusting
the clutch, check for correct operation.
WARNING Risk of Injury
Make sure that the correct parameter file is being used.
Wrong parameter file might cause too high torque with
bodily injury as a result.
►
Compare the maximum torque which is shown in
the controller, with the maximum torque stated in
the technical data of the tool, they should be the
same.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications provided with this
product.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire, property damage and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
•
Keep work area clean and well lit
. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
