likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the air tool, accessories, application tools, etc�
according to these instructions. Take into considera
-
tion the working conditions and the activities to be car
-
ried out� This reduces the development of dust, vibra-
tions and noise to the greatest extent�
•
The air tool should be set up, adjusted or used ex-
clusively by qualified and trained operators.
•
The air tool may not be modified in any way. Modi
-
fications can reduce the effectivity of the safety meas
-
ures and increase the risks for the operator.
Service
Have your air tool repaired only through a qualified re

pair person and only using original replacement parts�
This will ensure that the safety of the air tool is main-

Safety instructions
Before commencing work
• People with the appropriate physical form required
to operate the air tool of such size, weight and capac
-
ity, are allowed to work with the air tool.
•
During operation, as well as repair, maintenance
and replacement of the air tool accessories, it is man-
datory to wear shockproof safety glasses, as in case of
crash of the fastener head, accessories or the air tool
itself, fragments can fly apart at high speed.
•
Never turn on the air tool when moving� Rotating
parts of the air tool can wind on clothes or hair that will
result in an injury�
•
The air tool handles can be blown off with the com-
pressed air flow that will result in hands cooling, so
always wear protective gloves� The protective gloves
should fit closely, loose gloves can get into the rotating
parts of the air tool causing serious injuries�
• Make sure to monitor the state of the tool holder
and socket wrenches. The damaged tool holder and
socket wrenches (cracks, chippings, etc.) generate the
elevated vibration during the operation, they can also
break down and their pieces, discarded at high speed,
may cause injury�
• Use special detectors to find hidden energy, gas and
water supply systems, or refer to a local public utility
for information. Contact with wiring may cause fire and
an electric shock. Gas pipeline damage can cause an
explosion� Water pipeline damage results in property
damage�
•
Never carry the air tool holding it by its hose�
• Use the socket wrenches specially designed for
impact wrenches. They are black, more durable, and
their design contributes to operation without damaging
a screw or a bolt head. Using standard socket wrench
-
es may lead to their destruction, which may lead to
injuries to the user�
• It is prohibited to change the socket wrenches de
-
sign, as well as to use the removable tips and devices
not designed for this air tool�
•
Make sure to use special clamping devices to treat
small work pieces with the weight not sufficient for reli
-
able fixing.
• If the air tool is equipped with a silencer, always
check if it is properly placed and in good working con
-
dition�
During operation
• During operation take a comfortable position, avoid
awkward or such postures in which it is difficult to keep
a balance. When working for extended periods of time,
change your body position to reduce fatigue�
•
Keep your hands at a safe distance from the rotat-
ing parts of the air tool� Never try to hold the rotating
socket wrenches or the tool holder, it may cause seri
-
ous injuries�
• Special care should be taken when operating the
tool in cramped work spaces. When influenced by re
-
active torques, the air tool can turn over and lead to
hands injuries (jamming, crushing injuries).
• Hold the air tool tightly, and when operating the air tool
take a position in which you can counteract the move
-
ments caused by reactive forces or the replacement
working tool breakdown. If your air tool is equipped with
an additional handle, always use it during operation�
These precautions will help prevent injuries�
•
Turn off the air tool in case of the air supply failure or
decreased working pressure. Check the working pres
-
sure and turn on the air tool again when the working
pressure is optimal again�
•
When operating the air tool, an operator may experi-
ence unpleasant feelings in wrists, hands, shoulders,
neck, or other body parts.
• When operating the tool, a kickback may occur (a
sudden jerk of the air tool); to avoid negative effects
(for example, the balance loss) hold the air tool tightly
and keep a steady position.
•
Do not touch the movable parts of the air tool while
working - you can be injured (cuts, burns, etc.).
•
During operation avoid contact with live wiring� The
air tool is not isolated and contact with the live wiring
may cause electric shock.
•
Do not ignore the symptoms such as long-term ail-
ment, fast heartbeat, pain, itching, deafness, burning,
or numbness. If such symptoms occur, please inform
the employer and consult a qualified medical specialist.
• Vibration can exert negative influence on nerves
and the blood circulation in wrists and hands. If the
skin on your fingers or wrists numbs, itches, hurts or
gets pale, stop working with the air tool, inform your
employer and consult a doctor�
•
While working hold the air tool securely, but do
not apply excessive force as adverse health effects
caused by vibration will increase�
