General safety instructions
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing,
maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near this
tool must read and understand these instructions before per-
forming any such task.
Our goal is to produce tools that help you work safely and ef-
ficiently. The most important safety device for this or any tool
is YOU. Your care and good judgment are the best protection
against injury. All possible hazards cannot be covered here,
but we have tried to highlight some of the important ones.
• Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust
or use this power tool.
• This tool and its accessories must not be modified in any
way.
• Do not use this tool if it has been damaged.
• If the rated speed, operating pressure or hazard warning
signs on the tool cease to be legible or become detached,
replace without delay.
For additional safety information consult:
• Other documents and information packed with this
tool.
• Your employer, union and / or trade association.
• "Safety Code for Portable Air Tools" (ANSI
B186.1), available at the time of printing from
Global Engineering Documents at http://
global.ihs.com/ , or call 1 800 854 7179. In case of
difficulty in obtaining ANSI standards, contact ANSI
via http://www.ansi.org/

Air supply and connection hazards
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before
changing accessories or when making repairs.
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check
for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
• Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See in-
structions for correct set up.
• Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins
must be installed.
• Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 6.3 bar / 90 psig,
or as stated on tool nameplate.
Entanglement hazards
• Keep away from rotating drive. Choking, scalping and /
or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, gloves, jew-
ellery, neck ware and hair are not kept away from tool
and accessories.
• Gloves can become entangled with the rotating drive,
causing severed or broken fingers.
• Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions can easily en-
tangle rubber-coated or metal-reinforced gloves.

• Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with cut or
frayed fingers.
• Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.
Projectile hazards
• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when involved with or near the operation, repair or main-
tenance of the tool or changing accessories on the tool.
• Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant
eye and face protection. Even small projectiles can injure
eyes and cause blindness.
• Serious injury can result from over-torqued or under-
torqued fasteners, which can break, or loosen and sepa-
rate. Released assemblies can become projectiles. Assem-
blies requiring a specific torque must be checked using a
torque meter.
NOTE So-called "click" torque wrenches do not check
for potentially dangerous over-torqued conditions.
• Use only impact wrench rated sockets and accessories in
good condition. Sockets in poor condition or hand sock-
ets and accessories used with impact wrenches can shat-
ter.
• Never operate the tool off the work. It may run too fast
and cause the accessory to be thrown off the tool.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
Accessory hazards
• Use only proper accessory retainers (see parts list). Use
deep sockets wherever possible.
• For tools using the pin and O-ring socket retention sys-
tem, use the O-ring to retain the socket pin securely.
• Always use the simplest hook-up possible. Long, springy
extension bars and adapters absorb impact power and
could break. Use deep sockets wherever possible.
Operating hazards
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically
able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
• Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or
sudden movements – have both hands available.
• Do not use with reduced air pressure or in a worn condi-
tion: the clutch may not operate, resulting in sudden rota-
tion of the tool handle.
• Be in control of the throttle at all times. Do not get caught
between the tool and the work.
Repetitive motion hazards
• When using a power tool to perform work-related activi-
ties, the operator might experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.
• Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure
footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures.
Changing posture during extended tasks can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
• Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness,
burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop using the tool, tell
your employer and consult a physician.
