SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow these precautions could result in personal injury, and/or
damage to property.
1.
ALWAYS
wear BS approved impact resistant safety goggles. (Eye glasses are
NOT safety glasses).
2.
ALWAYS
wear face or dust mask (where dust is created).
3.
ALWAYS
wear BS approved Ear Defenders, as considerable noise is generated,
depending upon application. (see specifications)
4.
ALWAYS
disconnect the tool when not in use, before changing accessories
and before carrying out any maintenance
5.
ALWAYS
have trigger in the OFF position when connecting to an air supply.
6.
ALWAYS
keep a safe distance between yourself and other people when using
the tool.
7.
ALWAYS
maintain the tool with care. Keep it clean for best and safest
performance.
8.
DO NOT
wear ill fitting clothing, remove watches and rings.
9.
DO NOT
locate Quick Change couplings at the tool. They add weight and
could fail due to vibration.
10.
DO NOT
over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.
11.
DO NOT
force or misuse the tool. It will do a better and safer job at the rate for
which it was designed.
12.
DO NOT
abuse hoses or connectors.
NEVER
carry a tool by the hose, or yank it
to disconnect from the air supply. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before use, and ensure that
all connections are secure.
13.
DO NOT
exceed 90 psi at the tool.
14.
DO NOT
use hand sockets, as these could shatter with serious consequences.
Use only impact wrench sockets, which MUST be in good condition.
15.
DO NOT
use extension bars unless absolutely necessary - use deep sockets
when possible.
16.
NEVER
operate the tool unless it is attached to the work - the speed of rotation
could cause the socket to be thrown from the wrench
17.
DO NOT
modify the tool in any way.
18.
DO NOT
allow anyone to use the tool unless they are physically capable of
handling its’ bulk weight and power.
