Proper Use Of The Tool
Your new 3/8” Drive Air Ratchet Wrench is
designed for driving, tightening and loosening
threaded fasteners, usually nuts and bolts, when
fitted with a suitable socket.
Do not use the tool for any other purpose than that
specified without consulting the manufacturer or
the manufacturer’s authorized supplier. To do so
may be dangerous.
Never use the air ratchet wrench as a hammer to
dislodge or straighten cross threaded fasteners.
Never attempt to modify the tool for other uses.
Work Stations
Your air ratchet wrench should only be used as a
hand operated tool. It is always recommended that
the tool is used when standing with solid footing. It
can be used in other positions but before any such
use, the operator must be in a secure position
having a firm grip and footing and be aware that
when loosening fasteners the tool can move quite
quickly away from the fastener being undone. An
allowance must always be made for this rearward
movement so as to avoid the possibility of hand/
arm/body entrapment.
Putting Into Service
Air Supply
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a
measured air pressure at the tool of 90 psi/6.2 bar
when the tool is running with the throttle fully
depressed. Use recommended hose size and
length. It is recommended that the tool is
connected to the air supply as shown in figure A.
Do not connect the tool to the air line system
without incorporating an easy to reach and operate
air shut off valve. The air supply should be
lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air
filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in
figure A as this will supply clean, lubricated air at
the correct pressure to the tool. Details of such
equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If
such equipment is not used then the tool should be
lubricated by shutting off the air supply to the tool
and then depressurizing the line by squeezing the
throttle on the tool. Disconnect the air line and pour
into the intake bushing a teaspoon (5 ml) of a
suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil, preferably
incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air
supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds to
allow air to circulate the oil.
Lubricate tool daily if used frequently, or when it
starts to slow or lose power.
Operating Instructions
Securely fit the socket or attachment to the ratchet
wrench. Ensure that the forward/reverse switch is
in the correct position for tightening or loosening
the fastener.
The nut/bolt can then run down the thread by
depressing the throttle.
For loosening a joint the tool can be used in the
reverse sequence.
Using An Air Ratchet Wrench
1)
Read all instructions before using this tool. All
operators must be fully trained in its use and
aware of these safety rules.
2)
Do not exceed the maximum working air
pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar.
3)
Use personal safety equipment.
4)
Use only compressed air at the recommended
conditions.
5)
If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from
use immediately and arrange for service and
repair.
6)
If the tool is used with a balancer or other
support device, ensure that it is fixed securely.
7)
Always keep hands away from the working
attachment fitted to the tool.
8)
The tool is not electrically insulated. Never use
the tool if there is any chance of it coming into
contact with live electricity.
9)
When using the tool, always adopt a firm
footing and/or position and grip the tool firmly
to counteract any forces or reaction forces that
may be generated while using the tool.
10) Use only correct spare parts. Do not improvise
or make temporary repairs.
11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the on/off throttle
in the run position. The throttle must always be
free to return to the “off” position when it is
released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool and
depress the throttle to release air from the feed
hose before fitting, adjusting or removing the
working attachment.
13) Check hoses and fittings regularly for wear.
Replace if necessary. Do not carry the tool by
its hose. Ensure the hand is removed from the
on/off tthrottle when carrying the tool with the
air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving tool
parts with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags,
etc. This will cause the body to be drawn
towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) It is expected that users will adopt safe
working practices and observe all relevant
legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
