REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave
adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in
or on tool—especially near moving parts. Verify
removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE. Only use tool for its intended
purpose. Never modify or alter tool for a purpose
not intended by the manufacturer or serious injury
or death may result!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating tool. Do
not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that
make tool control difficult or increase the risk of
accidental injury.
SAFE HANDLING. To avoid accidental startup,
do not carry tool with hand on trigger, and always
disconnect from air when not in use.
SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use
clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured
workpiece protects hands and frees both of them
to operate the tool.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using tool if they become a distraction.
FORCING TOOLS. Use the right tool for the job,
and do not force it. It will do the job safer and bet-
ter at the rate for which it was designed.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep tool
in good working condition. A tool that is improperly
maintained could malfunction, leading to serious
personal injury or death. Only have tool serviced
by qualified service-personnel using matching
replacement parts.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
tool for any condition that may affect safe opera-
tion. Immediately repair or replace damaged or
mis-adjusted parts before with approved parts
operating tool.
Safety Instructions for Impact Wrenches
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained opera-
tors have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. If you
are unsure of the intended operation, stop using
the tool! Seek formal training or research books
or magazines that specialize in pneumatic tools.
When impact wrench is not being used, discon-
nect from air, and store in out-of-reach location
to prevent unauthorized use—especially around
children. Make workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
pneumatic tools in areas that are wet, cluttered, or
have poor lighting. Operating tools in these areas
greatly increases risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of this tool.
Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses and a face shield when operating
or observing impact wrenches to reduce the risk
of eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear with
added toe protection to avoid accidental slips and
reduce crushing injuries.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
impact wrenches may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing loud tools.
Extended exposure to this noise without hearing
protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
