IMPACT DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS! (cont.)
!!
•
Secure the work piece. A work piece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice, is
held more secure than by hand.
•
One-handed operation is extremely dangerous. Hold the unit firmly with both hands
when operating the tool.
•
After installing the driver bit, pull lightly on the bit to make sure that it does not come
loose. If the bit is not installed properly, it can come loose during use, which can be
dangerous.
•
Use a bit that matches the screw.
•
Tighten the screw with the impact driver lined straight with the screw to prevent the
screw head from being damaged and to ensure the proper force is delivered.
•
Hold the power tool with a firm grip. High reaction torque can briefly occur while
tightening and loosening nuts and bolts.
•
Check that any socket to be used is not cracked or broken. Broken or cracked sockets
are dangerous.
•
If the ring securing the socket is damaged, the socket may come off during use
causing personal injury.
•
Check the tightening torque. The appropriate torque for tightening a bolt depends
on the bolt material, its dimensions and grade and other factors.
•
The torque delivered by the impact driver depends on how long it is applied, the
size of socket and other factors such as the sate of the battery (4) charge.
•
Use a torque wrench to check that the bolt has been tightened to the appropriate
level of torque.
•
Stop the impact driver before changing the direction of rotation. Always release
the trigger switch and wait for the impact wrench to stop before switching the
direction of rotation.
•
Never touch the socket whilst it is turning. Do not let the turning socket get near
your hands or any other part of your body. You could be cut or caught up in the
socket.
•
Do not touch the socket after it has been in use for an extended period. It could
be hot and burn you.
