TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SAFETY RULES FOR IMPACT WRENCHES

Use only impact sockets. Non-impact sockets may shatter or break causing injury and/or damage.

Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque may cause breakage and possible personal injury.

Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.

Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the spinning anvil. Your hand may be lacerated or may cause injury.

Secure the material being worked on. Never hold it in your hand or across your legs. Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.

Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and walls or posts. Should the socket or bit become bound in the work, the reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.

Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the Impact Wrench before switching the tool “ON”. Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking you or a bystander.

When using the Impact Wrench, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands.

Keep the handle of the Impact Wrench dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

Do not run the Impact Wrench while carrying it at your side. A spinning socket or bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result.

Disconnect the plug from the power supply and place the switch in the locked or “OFF” position before making any assembly adjustments, changing accessories, performing any inspection, maintenance or cleaning procedures. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Do not use the Impact Wrench if it has been damaged, left outdoors in the rain, snow, wet or damp environments, or immersed in liquid.

Maintain labels and nameplates on the Impact Wrench. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Alltrade for a replacement.
