General safety instructions

Safety notice! Failing to follow these
instructions can cause an injury to you or
other persons.
Please read carefully all instructions before putting the
pneumatic appliance into operation. All persons
engaged in the operation must be thoroughly informed
about safety instructions at using the pneumatic
appliances. All servicing works and repairs can only be
executed by authorised professionals.
Power socket nuts can solely be used for impact
tighteners. Never use any other types of socket nuts.
Never use power socket nuts with a worn or knocked
out driving square. Before each use, please check
whether the driving square for power socket nuts and
extension or spindle of the impact tightener are not
worn or show any hair crack. Before use, make sure
the power socket nut is safely attached to the driving
square of the appliance.
Always take a stable and safe posture and working
position before using the appliance.
Check whether the power control is set correctly before
each use. Wrong setting can lead to break or
breakaway of the threaded joint and uncontrollable
motions of the appliance.
Before putting the appliance into operation, please
make sure the change-over valve for right and left run
is in a correct position. Do not put the appliance into
operation before the power socket nuts are firmly and
correctly seated on the screw head or nut.
Regularly check the pneumatic hose and all
connectors for wear. Use the quick-acting coupling as
recommended for assembly only. Carry the appliance
with its handle, not the hose. In such cases, your hand
must not be near the operating button, either.
Do not try to hold or guide the appliance with its rotary
power socket nuts.
Never exceed the recommended maximum service
pressure (6.3 bar)
If prescribed, use safety outfit.
The appliance is not grounded and insulated against
electricity. The appliance can in no case be used at
places where there is a possibility of getting into
contact with electricity.
When changing the power socket nuts, it is
recommended to interrupt the air supply or at least
make sure hands were in a sufficiently safe distance
from the operating button.
Prevent that the rotary component of the appliance
from getting near or in contact with loose parts of
clothes, ties, hair, cleaning cloths, etc.
Ensure a sufficient space for reverse motion when
loosening the threaded joints so that the operating
hand could not get jammed as the tool moves along
the thread length with the impact tightener in reverse
motion when loosening.
Use only extensions, adapters and joints that are
explicitly allowed to be used with impact tighteners.
If the appliance, when in use, shows any signs of
irregular working and power it is necessary to stop
using it immediately and service or repair the
appliance.
Do not use any unnecessarily long delivery hoses to
prevent falls as a result of trip.
Read the compressor's Operating Instructions and
follow safety instructions for using the compressor.
ALWAYS wear proved protective glasses and ear
protectors.
Put away watches, rings and other disturbing items.
Loose pieces of clothes and jewels could get caught in
the compressor and thus cause serious injuries.
The operating button must not be used when the
appliance is being connected to the air supply.
Disconnect the appliance from air supply if not used.
NEVER replace any parts of accessories and
SERVICE when the appliance is connected to the air
supply.
Take a safe posture. Make sure you did not lose your
balance.
When working with the appliance, ensure your hands
could freely move to guarantee safe working.
Use the appliance at a speed for which it has been
designed only.
Look after the appliance carefully and follow all
instructions for lubrication and maintenance of the
appliance.
Do not damage the hoses and couplings by carrying
the appliance with its hose and do not damage the
hose by disconnecting it from the air supply by pulling.
Prevent the hose from getting into contact with
excessive temperatures, oil and sharp edges. The
hose needs to be replaced if damaged or worn.
Store the cleaning cloths and other combustible
material in sealed metal containers. These containers
must be disposed according to local, national and
regional provisions.
When the appliance is operated the air pressure MUST
NOT exceed 6.3 bar. Use a pressure regulator that will
reduce the air pressure to 6.3 bar.
ALWAYS use the appliance in a safe distance from
people and animals.
Make sure the speed of rotating of accessories parts
corresponded to the speed of rotating of the impact
tightener or was higher.

Before starting

Air supply
Important information on the appliance can be found in
model specifications.
Lubricate the appliance before putting it into
operation (see the Maintenance part).
Assembly
Always disconnect the air supply hose when you want
to assembly socket nuts or extensions on the
appliance or disassemble them from the appliance.
Operation
Safety notice!
Wear protective glasses! Wear ear
protectors!
Always empty water from the compressor tank and
blow condensation out of the air hose before everyday
operation.
Now start your compressor. The maximum service
pressure of air is 6.3 bar.
The power (torque) of impact tighteners under primary
working conditions is especially determined by three
factors:
a) service pressure used
b) time of working step on the threaded joint. A normal
work time for a threaded joint is 3-5 seconds on
average.
c) setting of the switching lever, in relation to the
threaded joint in proportion to the impact time.
Due to the use of threads and materials of various
hardness there is an increased friction, which causes
higher torque without the thread being tightened more
firmly. At rust-stained threaded joints, use appropriate
agents dissolving rust before using the impact
