USING THE TOOL
(Continued)
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
•
Be aware of buried, hidden or other hazards in your
work environment. Do not contact or damage
cords, conduits, pipes or hoses that may contain
electrical wires, explosive gases or harmful liquids.
•
Keep others a safe distance from your work area, or
ensure they use appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment.
•
Keep hands, loose clothing, long hair and jewelry
away from working end of tool.
•
Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions or uncomfortable positions may be
harmful to your hands and arms. Stop using any
tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs.
Seek medical advice before resuming use.
•
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not
overreach when operating this tool. Anticipate and
be alert for sudden changes in motion, reaction
torques, or forces during start up and operation.
•
Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their
motion after throttle is released.
•
To avoid accidental starting - ensure tool is in "off"
position before applying air pressure, avoid throttle
when carrying, and release throttle with loss of air.
•
Ensure work pieces are secure. Use clamps or vises
to hold work piece whenever possible.
•
Do not carry or drag the tool by the hose.
•
Do not use power tools when tired, or under the
influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
•
Never use a damaged or malfunctioning tool or
accessory.
•
Do not modify the tool, safety devices, or
accessories.
•
Do not use this tool for purposes other than those
recommended.
•
Use accessories recommended by Ingersoll-Rand.
•
Note the position of the reversing mechanism
before operating the tool so as to be aware of the
direction of rotation when operating the throttle.
•
Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not
use hand (chrome) sockets or accessories.
•
Whenever the Ratchet Head is installed or
repositioned, the Throttle Lever must be positioned
so that reaction torque will not tend to retain the
throttle in the “ON” position.
•
Ratchet wrenches are not torque wrenches.
Connections requiring specific torque must be
checked with a torque meter after fitting with a
ratchet wrench.

The use of other than genuine Ingersoll-Rand replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool
