Safety instructions for air tools
The hazards listed are foreseea-
ble for general use of handheld
air impact drivers. However, the
user must also assess specific
risks which may arise from its
use.
DANGER! Keep your
hands or other limbs out
of reach of rotating
parts. Injuries may other-
wise occur.
CRUSHING HAZARD!
Keep hands away from the
counter bearing (e.g. box
spanner) during use. This par-
ticularly applies when remov-
ing screws in tight work envi-
ronments.
RISK OF INJURY! Discon-
nect the compressed air before
changing tools, adjustments
and maintenance.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never use petrol or other flam-
mable liquids to clean the air
tool! Sparks could ignite resid-
ual vapours inside the com-
pressed air tool resulting in
explosion. Do not use the tool
in explosive environments with
flammable liquids, gasses or
dust. Never work on materials

which are or potentially could
be highly flamable or explo-
sive.
In the cases of multiple haz-
ards the safety instructions
must be read and understood
before attaching, operating,
repairing and exchanging ac-
cessories and before working
near the ma-chine for screw
connections. Otherwise severe
bodily injuries may result.
The machine for screw con-
nections should only be set up,
adjusted or used by qualified
and trained operators.
Never modify the machine for
screw connections. Modifica-
tions may reduce the effective-
ness of safety measures and
increase operator risks.
Do not lose the safety instruc-
tions – hand them to the oper-
ator.
Never use a damaged ma-
chine on screw connections.
Regularly maintain machines
to verify all required rated
values and markings such as
rated speed or rated air pres-
sure are legible on the ma-
chine. If necessary, the user
must contact the manufacturer
for replacement labels for
markings.
Only use the equipment for
