General safety rules
Do not use the compressed air unit if it is not
air tight or in need of repair.
Never connect the compressed air unit to an air
hose with pressure exceeding 6.3 bar.
Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy
or poorly lit working areas can result in accidents.
Doing so will allow you better control of the
device, particularly under unforeseen circum-
stances.
Only have the device re-
paired by qualified specialist personnel using
OEM spare parts. This will maintain the safety
of the device.
Keep children and other persons away from
the device during use. Distractions can cause
you to lose control of the device.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves clear of moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair can become trapped in
moving parts.
Put down trigger and device in the event of un-
expected compressor failure.
If possible, use a condensate trap or regularly
drain the hoses and pipes of condensate (water)
before and whilst using compressed air units.
ATTENTION! An undersized com-
pressed air system may minimise the
efficiency of your device.
For multiple hazards, read and understand the
safety instructions before installing, operating,
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on,
or working near the assembly power tool for
threaded fasteners. Failure to do so can result
in serious bodily injury.
Only qualified and trained operators should in-
stall, adjust or use the assembly power tool for
threaded fasteners.
Do not modify this assembly power tool for
threaded fasteners. Modifications can reduce
the effectiveness of safety measures and increase
the risks to the operator.
Do not discard the safety instructions; give them
to the operator.
Do not use the assembly power tool for threaded
fasteners if it has been damaged.
Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify
that the ratings and markings required by this
part of ISO 11148 are legibly marked on the
tool. The employer / user shall contact the man-
ufacturer to obtain replacement marking labels
when necessary.
Projectile hazards
Failure of the workpiece, of accessories or even
of the inserted tool itself can generate high-ve-
locity projectiles.
Always wear impact-resistant eye protection
during the operation of the assembly power tool
for threaded fasteners. The grade of protection
required should be assessed for each use.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
Entanglement hazards
Entanglement hazards can result in choking,
scalping and / or lacerations if loose clothing,
personal jewellery, neckware, hair or gloves are
not kept away from the tool and accessories.
Gloves can become entangled with the rotating
drive, causing severed or broken fingers.
Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions can
easily entangle rubber-coated or metal-reinforced
gloves.
Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with
cut or frayed fingers.
Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.
Keep hands away from rotating drives.
Operating hazards
The use of the tool can expose the operator’s
hands to hazards including crushing, impacts,
cuts and abrasions and heat. Wear suitable
gloves to protect hands.
Operators and maintenance personnel shall be
physically able to handle the bulk, weight and
power of the tool.
Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract
normal or sudden movements and have both
hands available.
