• ATTENTION! An undersized compressed air sys-
tem can reduce the efficiency of your device.
Hazards due to ejected parts
• If the workpiece or one of the accessories or even
the machine tool itself breaks, parts can be ejected
at high speed.
• Always wear impact resistant safety goggles when
working with a screw-driving machine. The level of
protection required should be assessed separately
for each individual use.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fastened.
Hazards due to catching/entanglement
• Catching/entanglement hazards can cause asphyxi-
ation, scalping and/or cuts if loose clothing, person-
al jewellery, necklaces, hair or gloves are not kept
away from the machine and its accessories.
• Gloves can get caught in the rotating drive and this
can injure or brake fingers.
• Rotating drive sockets and extensions can easily
cause rubberised or metal-reinforced gloves to be
caught/entangled.
• 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.
