explosive environments, including those caused
by fumes and dust, or near flammable
materials.
•
Keep hands, loose clothing, long hair and
jewelry away from working end of tool.

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,

•
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
