WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ENCLOSED.
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EMPLOYER TO PLACE THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL INTO THE HANDS OF THE OPERATOR.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
GETTING STARTED WITH THE MACHINE
• IMPACT WRENCHES SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR TIGHTENING AND LOOSENING
FILLETED FIXING ELEMENTS. FACOM WILL NOT BE LIABLE IF THE MACHINE IS USED
FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
THIS MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED TO BE USED IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE.
This machine and its accessories must be used in compliance with these instructions.
Using it for any other purpose may cause a risk of danger for people and the
environment
• Always operate, inspect and maintain this machine in accordance with all
regulations (local, state, federal and country), that may apply to hand held/hand
operated pneumatic machine.
• For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate this
machine at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at the inlet with
3/8” (10 mm) inside diameter air supply hose.
• Exceeding the maximum pressure of 6.2 bar will lead to the risk of danger such
as excessive speed, breaking parts, higher torque or force that may destroy the
machine and its accessories or the part being worked on.
• Be sure all hoses and fi ttings are the correct size and are tightly secured.
• Always use clean, dry and lubricated air at 90 psig maximum air pressure. Dust,
corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air machine.
• Do not lubricate machine with fl ammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene,
diesel or petrol.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
• The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler connected directly to the air
inlet increases tool bulk and decreases tool maneuverability.
• The pneumatic machine must be fi tted and connected to the compressed air
network via quick disconnects to facilitate shutdown in the event of danger
• When the life of the tool has expired, it is recommended that the machine be
disassembled, degreased and parts be separated by material so that they can be
recycled.
USING THE MACHINE
• Before using the machine, check that there is no dangerous interaction with
the immediate environment (explosive gas, infl ammable or dangerous liquid,
unknown piping, electric sheathing or cable, etc)
• Before connecting the machine to the air inlet, check the trigger is not blocked in
the on position by an obstacle and no adjustment or assembly tool is still in position.
• Check the machine is connected to the network by a quick disconnect joint and
that an air braker valve is close by to shut the air down immediately in the event
of blockage, breakage or any other incident.
• Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from rotating end of machine.
• Check the position of the inversion system before starting the machine
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion during start up and
operation of any power machine.
• Ensure that the unit on which the work is being carried out is immobilised.
• In the event of blockage, release the trigger and disconnect the machine
from the compressed air network.
• Use accessories recommended by FACOM.
• The use of other than genuine FACOM replacement parts may result in safety
hazards, decreased machine performance, and increased maintenance, and cancel
all warranties.
Repairs should be made only by authorized trained personnel. Consult your
nearest FACOM Authorized Servicenter.
Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses
and fi ttings.
The pneumatic machine can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful to your hands

Remain vigilant, use common sense and pay attention when using
the machine.
Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the airsupply hose
before installing, removing or adjusting any accessory on this
machine, or before performing any maintenance on this machine.
This pneumatic machine must not be used for hitting as it may
damage safety elements and cause breakage.
