Risks due to projecting parts
If the work piece, one of the accessories or the
tool itself breaks, parts may be projected at
great speeds.
Always wear impact-resistant eye protection
when using the machine for screw connections.
The level of protection required should be asses
for each individual application.
Be sure the work piece is properly secured.
Risks from gripping / winding
Risks from gripping / winding may result in suf-
focation, scalping and / or cuts if loose clothing,
jewellery, necklaces, hair or gloves are not kept
away from the machine and its accessories.
Gloves may become tangled in the rotating
drive, which may result in injuries or fractures in
fingers.
Rotating drives and extensions may easily catch /
wind rubberised or metal reinforced gloves.
Never wear loose gloves or gloves with cut or
worn fingers.
Never hold on to the drive, collect or the drive
extension.
Keep hands away from the rotating drive.
Operating hazards
When using the machine the operator‘s hands
may be exposed to crushing, impact, cut, abra-
sion and heat hazards. Wear suitable gloves
to protect hands.
The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable to manage the weight
and power of the machine.
Hold the machine correct: be prepared to coun-
teract typical or sudden movements – keep both
hands ready.
Be sure your body is well balanced and maintain
a solid stance.
If tools are required to absorb the reaction tor-
que, use a suspension attachment whenever
possible. If this is not possible, we recommend
side handles for machines with straight handle
and pistol grip. At any rate we recommend
using tools to absorb if it is greater than 4 Nm
for machines with straight handles, greater
than 10 Nm for machines with pistol grip and
greater than 60 Nm for offset screwdrivers.
In the event of power failure release the start-
or stop control.
Only use the lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer.
Hex nut drivers with open flathead can crush
fingers.
Do not use the tool in tight spaces and be sure
your hands are not crushed between the machine
and work piece, especially when unscrewing.
Hazards due to
repetitive motions
When using a machine for screw connections
the operator may experience discomfort in hands,
arms, shoulders, neck or other body parts whilst
performing work-related tasks.
Maintain a comfortable position whilst using
this tool, be mindful of a secure grip and avoid
awkward positions or positions making it diffi-
cult to maintain your balance. The operator should
change his posture during extended periods of
use, which may help to prevent discomfort and
fatigue.
If the operator experiences symptoms such as
persistent malaise, discomfort, palpitations, pain,
tingling, numbness, a burning sensation or stiff-
ness, these warning signs should not be ignored.
The user should consult a qualified healthcare
professional.
