3. Never hold the drive, socket, drive extension or accessories during
impacting. Doing so increases the risk of cuts, burns or vibration injuries.
4. Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden
movements and have both hands available.
5. The tool is not insulated against contact with live electrical conduits
or sources.
6. Do not over-tighten nuts. They could shatter and cause damage to
the tool or workpiece or cause serious injury. Use a torque wrench
to torque the nut after using the air ratchet.
AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Use only clean and dry compressed air as a power source.
Contaminated or moist air will gradually damage the tool.
2. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow immediate control
over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
3. Discontinue tool use if it does not work properly or air is leaking.
Tag or mark the tool as ‘defective’ or ‘out of service’ until repaired.
4. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools
and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated to
never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool (see
Specifications). Exceeding the maximum PSI rating can create a
bursting hazard, causing injury and property damage.
5. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before connecting the air
supply. A loose accessory may detach or break during operation.
6. Never use oxygen, combustible gas or any other bottled gas as a
power source. Any power source other than an air compressor
could cause an explosion and serious personal injury.
7. Turn OFF the valve and discharge any remaining air pressure after
each use or before adjusting the tool.
8. Do not leave the air tool unattended with its compressed air supply
on. Turn off the compressed air supply and bleed the air tool of any
remaining compressed air before leaving the air tool unattended.
9. Serious injury may occur from loose debris being propelled at high
speeds from the compressed air stream. Always wear OSHA
approved safety glasses to protect the eyes during operation of the
air compressor.
