• Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with cut
or worn glove fingers.
• Never hold the drive, the socket or the drive ex-
tension.
• Keep your hands away from the rotating drive.
Hazards during use
• When using the machine, the operator's hands may
be exposed to hazards due to crushing, hitting, cut-
ting, abrasion and heat. Wear suitable gloves to pro-
tect the hands.
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be
physically able to handle the size, weight and pow-
er of the machine.
• Hold the machine correctly: Be ready to counter-
act the usual or sudden movements - keep both
hands ready.
• Make sure your body is balanced and that you have
a secure stance.
• In cases where aids are required to absorb the reac-
tion torque, it is recommended to use a suspension
device whenever possible. If this is not possible,
side handles for straight handle machines and pis-
tol grip machines are recommended. In any case, it
is recommended to use aids to absorb the reaction
torque if it is greater than 4 Nm for machines with
straight handles, greater than 10 Nm for machines
with pistol grips and greater than 60 Nm for angled
screwdrivers.
• Release the command device to start or stop in the
event of a power supply interruption.
• Use only lubricants recommended by the manu-
facturer.
• Fingers can be crushed in nut drivers with an open
flat head.
• Do not use the tool in confined spaces and make
sure that your hands are not squeezed between the
machine and the workpiece, especially when un-
screwing.
Hazards due to repetitive movements
• When using a screw-driving machine, the opera-
tor may experience unpleasant sensations in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of the
body when performing work-related activities.
• When working with this machine, adopt a comfort-
able position, ensure a secure hold and avoid awk-
ward positions or those where it is difficult to keep
your balance. The operator should change posture
during long periods of work, which can help to avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
• If the operator experiences symptoms such as per-
sistent discomfort, aching, throbbing, pain, tingling,
numbness, burning or stiffness, these warning signs
should not be ignored. The operator should consult
a qualified medical professional.
Hazards due to accessories
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply be-
fore changing the machine tool or accessory.
• Do not touch sockets or accessories during the im-
pact process as this may increase the risk of cut-
ting, burning or injury from vibration.
• Only use accessories and consumables of the sizes
and types recommended by the manufacturer of the
screw-driving machine.
• Only use impact sockets in good working condition,
as poor condition of regular manual sockets and ac-
cessories can cause them to break and be ejected
when used with impact screwdrivers.
Hazards in the workplace
• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace
injuries. Watch out for surfaces that may have be-
come slippery due to use of the machine and for
tripping hazards caused by the air hose or hydrau-
lic hose.
• Proceed with caution in unknown environments.
There may be hidden hazards due to power cables
or other supply lines.
• The screw-driving machine is not intended for use
in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insu-
lated against contact with electrical power sources.
• Ensure that no there are no electric cables or gas
pipes etc. where you are working and which can lead
to a hazard if damaged when you use the machine.
Hazards due to dust and vapours
• The dusts and vapours generated by the use of
screw-driving machines can cause damage to
health (such as cancer, birth defects, asthma and/
or dermatitis); it is essential to carry out a risk as-
sessment in relation to these hazards and to imple-
ment appropriate control mechanisms.
• The risk assessment should include the dust gen-
erated by the use of the machine and the dust that
may be stirred up in the process.
• The exhaust air must be discharged in such a way
that the whirling up of dust in a dust-filled environ-
ment is reduced to a minimum.
• If dust or vapours are generated, the main task must
be to control them at the point of release.
