Keep your working area tidy and well lit. Accidents are much more likely to
happen in dirty, unorganized, or poorly lit workspaces - accidents that are
easy to avoid with basic upkeep.
Your impact wrench isn’t waterproof or splash proof. Under no
circumstances should you use it in the rain, spray with water, or immerse in
liquid or risk the danger of explosion or electrocution.
Do not operate your power tools in dusty or explosive areas, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids or gases, for a very simple reason - power
tools may create sparks which could ignite dust or fumes. Kaboom.
Secure any movable workpiece(s) you're working on. A workpiece secured
with suitable clamps or in a vice is much more likely to be steady and stay in
place than one held by hand.
Keep children and bystanders away. Distractions can easily cause you to
lose control, so consider operating your power tools a solo venture. You'll
catch up with everyone later, when you've made progress with your project.
If you absolutely
must have children in the working area, ensure that
they're always closely supervised by another,
responsible
, adult, and do
not interfere with your work.
Familiarize yourself with your local general rules of occupational health
and safety. The sooner you do that, the sooner you can start using your
impact wrench.
Only use your impact wrench, accessories, tool bits, etc. in accordance
with these instructions
. Use of the wrench for anything other than its
intended use could result in a hazardous situation, loss of limbs and or life
AND voids your warranty (s
ee page 25 for warranty details)
. In short, we
really, really don’t want you to have an accident. Really.
