Workplace Hazards (continued)
the effect of sudden torque reac-
tion during final tightening and
initial loosening.
An additional support handle or
absorption bar may be needed to
resist torque reaction. Absorption
bars must be positioned correctly to
avoid injury.
Proceed with care in unfamiliar
surroundings. Be aware of potential
hazards created by your work
activity.
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 dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

Lubrication
Use an air line lubricator with Mobil
Almo 525 air tool oil (model 4ZF22),
adjusted to two (2) drops per minute. If
an air line lubricator can not be used,
add air motor oil to the inlet once a
day. Monthly, lubricate the drive
bushing and ratchet yoke with a good
grade bearing grease.Periodically,
depending upon use, the ratchet head
assembly should be removed,cleaned
and re-greased.

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 serious
injury-Always check for damaged
or loose hoses and fittings.
Do not use quick disconnect
couplings at tool. See Figure 2
for correct set-up.
Whenever universal twist couplings
are used, lock pins must be
installed.
rated capacity and could cause serious
damage to tool and user.
We recommend the installation of an in-
line filter-regulator-lubricator as close
to the tool as possible.
Pre-Operation
Before the tool is connected to the air
supply, clean the air hose of
accumulated dust and moisture. Before
removing a tool for service or changing
sockets, make sure the air line is shutoff
and drained of air. This will prevent the
tool from operating if the throttle is
accidently engaged.
