WARNING
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THE PNEUMATIC
TOOL. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY STANDARDS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
Store the safety instructions with care and hand them over to the users.
PURPOSE OF USE
•
The air compact impact wrench can be used for the following purposes:
-
assembling threaded connecting parts
-
screwing and unscrewing by means of impact sockets
-
the angle impact wrench can also be used in open places exposed to water and air.
•
The air compact impact wrench must not be used for the following operations:
-
the angle impact wrench must not be used with any hand sockets
-
the angle impact wrench must not be used with any couplers or extensions, because these result in reduced power of the
impact wrench and increased risk of breakage
-
the angle impact wrench must not be used in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres
-
the trigger must not be locked with adhesive tape or clamps.
PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY
•
Do not point the air flow to yourself or other people. Compressed air can cause serious injury.
•
Check the connections and the air supply lines. All units, couplers and hoses should conform to the product specifications in terms
of pressure and air volume. Too low pressure impairs the function of the pneumatic tool; too high pressure can cause damage and/
or injury.
•
Do not bend or tighten any hoses. Avoid using solvents and sharp edges. Keep the hoses away from heat, oil and rotating parts.
Immediately replace any damaged hose. A defective feed pipe may cause uncontrolled movements of the compressed air pipe.
Raised rust or chips may cause eye injury. Make sure that the hose clamps are always secured firmly.
PERSONNEL SAFETY
•
Stay alert; watch what you are doing. Do not use the pneumatic tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion.
•
Always use the following personal protective equipment:
-
eye protection;
-
safety shoes;
-
gearing protection;
-
protective gloves against physical agents;
-
anti-vibration gloves, to be worn following a specially conducted survey of the daily exposure of the hand-arm system to
vibration.
•
Make sure you are in a safe position, keeping proper balance at all times. A safe working position and a proper body posture enable
better control of the pneumatic tool in unexpected situations.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery, and
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
•
Do not directly inhale the exhaust air, and prevent it from getting into your eyes. The exhaust air of the pneumatic tool can contain
water, oil, metal particles and impurities, which may cause hazards.
•
Do not operate the pneumatic tool in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres, because sparks may
be generated, which can ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Avoid contact with live equipment, because the pneumatic tool is not insulated, and contact with live parts can cause
electric shocks.
•
Keep children and bystanders away from your workplace while operating the pneumatic tool. Distractions from other
people can cause you to lose control over the pneumatic tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Beware of both surfaces that may become slippery due to the use of the machine and the danger of tripping over the air hose.
•
While using the pneumatic tool for jobs performed high from the ground, take all necessary precautions, to eliminate or minimize
risk to other workers, following the accidental falling of any tools (for example, isolation of the work area and proper signs).
