Risks associated with
accessories
Disconnect machine from the power supply be-
fore changing a tool or accessory.
Do not touch collets or accessories whilst impact
driving, as doing so may increase the risk of
cuts, burns or injuries from vibration.
Only use the size and types of accessories and
consumables recommended by the manufacturer
of the machine.
Only use impact sockets in good working con-
dition as manual sockets and accessories in
poor working condition may break and be
ejected when used with impact drivers.
Hazards in the work
environment
Slipping, tripping and falls are main causes of
injuries at the workplace. Be mindful of surfaces
which may have become slippery during ma-
chine use, and of tripping hazards caused by
the air- or hydraulic hose.
Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surroundings.
These may hold hidden dangers due to electri-
cal cables or supply lines.
The machine for screw connections is not suita-
ble for use in explosive environments and is not
insulated against contact with electrical power
sources.
Verify there are no electrical lines, gas lines,
etc. which may result in a hazard in the event
they are damaged during machine use.
Hazards due to dust
and vapours
Dusts and vapours generated by use of machines
for screw connections may result in damage to
the health (e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma
and / or dermatitis); it is imperative to perform
a risk assessment for these hazards and imple-
ment the respective regulatory mechanisms.
The risk assessment should include dust genera-
ted from machine use and dust in the area pos-
sibly being blown around.
Exhaust air must be discharged so the amount
of dust being blown about in a dusty environ-
ment is minimised.
If dust or vapours are generated the principal
task must be to monitor them in the area where
they are released.
All machine mounting parts or accessories in-
tended to collect, extract or eliminate airborne
dust or vapours should be used and maintained
according to manufacturer instructions.
Use respiratory dust equipment as required by
labour- and health regulations.
Noise hazards
With inadequate ear protectors the impact of
high noise levels may result in permanent hea-
ring damage, hearing loss and other problems,
e.g. tinnitus (ringing, whistling or buzzing in the
ear).
It‘s imperative to perform a risk assessment for
these hazards and implement the suitable regu-
latory mechanisms.
Suitable regulatory mechanisms to minimise the
risk include measures such as using insulation
to prevent pinging sounds on work pieces.
Use heating protection as required by labour-
and health regulations.
The machine for screw connections must be
operated and maintained as recommended in
these instructions to prevent an unnecessary in-
crease in the noise level.
If the machine for screw connections features
a silencer, always ensure it is available when
using the machine for screw connections and in
good working order.
Select, maintain and replace consumables and
machine tools as recommended in these instruc-
tions to prevent an unnecessary increase in the
sound level.
