WARNING:
Know your impact wrench.
Read the
Owner’s Manual carefully. Learn
the tool’s applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection. Any
power tool can throw foreign
objects into your eyes and cause
permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that
comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING:
Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause
serious injury when they break.
Always use hearing protection when operating
the impact wrench.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Fasteners contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Use only impact sockets and accessories that
are designed for use with an impact wrench. Do
not use chrome plated sockets and accessories.
Chrome plated sockets and accessories are
designed for hand use only and MUST NOT be
used with an impact wrench. They may shatter
and possibly cause serious injury.
Before each use, check the impact sockets and
accessories for excessive wear or cracks. Worn
or damaged sockets or accessories may shatter
and possibly cause serious injury. Worn
accessories may allow the socket to come off
during operation of the impact wrench.
Never use the impact wrench as a torque
wrench. Always use a torque wrench to adjust
the fastener to the specified torque.
Keep the impact wrench handle and body clean
and free of oil and grease. Always use a clean
dry cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents,
brake fluid, gasoline or other petroleum products
to clean the tool. They will damage the tool.
Do not wear neckties or loose clothing.
When wearing gloves, they must be tight fitting
and slip resistant type. Leather gloves offer the
best protection.
Always use two hands when operating the
impact wrench. Use one hand on the handle
and the other on the front of the tool body.
Never place your hand so it is touching the
socket or accessory when the tool is turned ON.
Your hand could be seriously injured.
Always remove the plug from the power source
before installing or removing any socket or
accessory.
Be ready for components to shift when removing
any fastener. The speed of the fastener removal
could cause unexpected shifting of the
components.
