PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Use breathing, ear, eye, face, foot, hand and head protection.
Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles, which must provide both frontal and side protection.
Protect your hands with suitable gloves. Protect your head from falling objects by wearing a hard hat.
Wear ANSI approved earplugs. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working. Wear steel toed boots to prevent injury from falling objects.
2. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3. Keep any articles of clothing, jewellery, hair, etc. away from moving parts. These can be caught in moving
parts, resulting in damage to the tool and/or serious injury.
4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any machine or tool when
you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
5. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work
piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
6. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it unattended until it has come to a
complete stop. A part that is moving could make the tool jump or grab a surface and pull the tool
out of your control.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical
injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then
have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused by or worsened from tool
use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical symptoms
related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical attention
as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip the tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur, stop
using this tool immediately.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not over-tighten nuts. They could shatter and cause damage to the tool or work piece or cause serious injury.
Use a torque wrench to torque the nut after using the ratchet.
2. Do not use any additional force upon the ratchet in order to remove a nut.
3. Do not allow ratchet to run without load for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.
