Vibration caused by the impact wrench action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. We recommend you use thick, cushioned gloves and take
regular breaks.
Only put your finger on the trigger switch when you are ready to start
using the wrench. Learn to
never carry power tools with your finger on the
power switch or trigger - it only invites accidents.
Don't touch wrench sockets, lug nuts, and bolts right after using them at
high speeds. They get hot. Let them cool down first, or use suitable work
gloves before handling.
Make sure you have a firm grip on your wrench,
it's really powerful and
has very fast moving parts.
Always wait until the impact wrench has come to a complete stop before
placing it down, moving onto the next task, or inserting a wrench socket.
Hold your impact wrench by its insulated handle grip when using in
situations where the fastener may come into contact hidden wiring. Zap!
Make sure there is nothing stuck in the anvil and that the socket is
correctly attached, before using your impact wrench. It moves fast. And it
can ruin your day even faster, if you're not careful.
There is a dress code - stick to it.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, and
keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from any moving parts to avoid
them getting caught.
Common sense is the best protection, isn't it? Stay alert and take regular
breaks. Exercise common sense, and do not operate your impact wrench
when you're tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or strong
medication.
