Using the Tool (Continued)
•
Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repet-
itive 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, reac-
tion torques, or forces during start up and oper-
ation.
•
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 throt-
tle 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 acces-
sories.
•
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 throt-
tle.
•
Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not
use hand (chrome) sockets or accessories.
•
Periodically check the drive end of the tool to
make certain that the socket retainer functions
correctly, and that sockets and drive ends are
not excessively worn which may allow the socket
to come off when rotating.
•
Impact Wrenches are not torque wrenches.
Connections requiring specific torque must be
checked with a torque meter after fitting with
an impact wrench.
The use of other than genuine Ingersoll-Rand replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool perfor-
mance, and increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warranties.
Repairs should be made only by authorized trained personnel. Consult your nearest Ingersoll-Rand Authorized Ser-
vicenter.
