For additional safety information consult:
• Other documents and information packed with this
tool.
• Your employer, union and / or trade association.
• “Safety Code for Portable Air Tools” (ANSI
B186.1), available at the time of printing from
Global Engineering Documents at http://
global.ihs.com/ , or call 1 800 854 7179. In case of
difficulty in obtaining ANSI standards, contact
ANSI via http://www.ansi.org/

Air supply and connection hazards
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before
changing accessories or when making repairs.
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check
for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
• Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See in-
structions for correct set up.
• Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins
must be installed.
• Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 6.3 bar / 90
psig, or as stated on tool nameplate.
Entanglement hazards
• Keep away from rotating drive. Choking, scalping and /
or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, gloves, jew-
ellery, neck ware and hair are not kept away from tool
and accessories.
• Gloves can become entangled with the rotating drive,
causing severed or broken fingers.
• Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions can easily
entangle rubber-coated or metal-reinforced gloves.
• Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with cut or
frayed fingers.
• Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.
Projectile hazards
• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when involved with or near the operation, repair or
maintenance of the tool or changing accessories on the
tool.
• Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resis-
tant eye and face protection. Even small projectiles can
injure eyes and cause blindness.
• Serious injury can result from over-torqued or under-
torqued fasteners, which can break, or loosen and sepa-
rate. Released assemblies can become projectiles. As-
semblies requiring a specific torque must be checked us-
ing a torque meter.
NOTE So-called “click” torque wrenches do not check
for potentially dangerous over-torqued conditions.
• Use only impact wrench rated sockets and accessories in
good condition. Sockets in poor condition or hand sock-
ets and accessories used with impact wrenches can shat-
ter.
• Never operate the tool off the work. It may run too fast
and cause the accessory to be thrown off the tool.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
Accessory hazards
• Use only proper accessory retainers (see parts list). Use
deep sockets wherever possible.
• For tools using the pin and O-ring socket retention sys-
tem, use the O-ring to retain the socket pin securely.
• Always use the simplest hook-up possible. Long, springy
extension bars and adapters absorb impact power and
could break. Use deep sockets wherever possible.
Operating hazards
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically
able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
• Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or
sudden movements – have both hands available.
• Do not use with reduced air pressure or in a worn condi-
tion: the clutch may not operate, resulting in sudden rota-
tion of the tool handle.
• Be in control of the throttle at all times. Do not get
caught between the tool and the work.
Repetitive motion hazards
• When using a power tool to perform work-related activi-
ties, the operator might experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.
• Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure
footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures.
Changing posture during extended tasks can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
• Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness,
burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop using the tool, tell
your employer and consult a physician.
Noise and Vibration hazards
• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and
other problems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection
as recommended by your employer or occupational
health and safety regulations.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the
nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear
warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry. If
numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs,
stop using tool, tell your employer and consult a physi-
cian.
• Hold the tool in a light but safe grip because the risk
from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is
higher. Where possible use a suspension arm or fit a side
handle.
• To prevent unnecessary increases in noise and vibration
levels:
