Facom NS.3500G Notice Originale page 11

• The tool's power is controlled by the pressure exerted on the trigger, firmly grip the tool and squeeze the trigger to
operate.
• Do not use sockets with excessive wear to the input or output drives. Periodically check the square drive on the
impact wrench. Make sure the socket, extension bar, or other attachment is securely fitted before operating tool.
• When loosening fasteners first ensure that there is sufficient clearance behind the tool to avoid hand entrapment. The
tool will move away from the threaded joint as the nut/bolt is loosened and rides up the thread, moving the tool with it.
Make sure hands are kept away from the sockets during tool use.
• Securely fit the socket or attachment to the impact wrench. Inspect anvil and retaining ring of tool prior to use.
Missing or damaged items should be replaced before use.
• Ensure that the forward/reverse switch is in the correct position for tightening or loosening the fastener.
• The nut/bolt can then run down the thread using the power drive of the tool. For loosening a joint the tool can be used
in the reverse sequence.
• Recommended to use a hardened steel (or material with comparable shock resistance) threaded hose fitting (Fig 7).
4 - POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Before running the tool, check that there is no dangerous interaction with the immediate environment (explosive gas, flammable
or dangerous liquid, unknown piping, electric sheathing or cable, etc).
• Before connecting the tool to the air inlet, check the trigger is not blocked in the on position by an obstacle.
• In the event of blockage, release the trigger and disconnect the tool from the compressed air network.
• Ensure that the unit on which work is being carried out is immobilized.
• Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance with all regulations (local, state, federal and country), that may apply
to hand held/hand operated pneumatic tool.
• For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate this tool at 90 psig. (6.2 bar / 620 kPa) maximum air
pressure at the inlet with 3/8'' (10mm) inside diameter air supply hose.
• Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air tool.
• Exceeding the maximum pressure of 90 psig (6.2 bar / 620 kPa) will lead to the risk of danger such as excessive speed, tool wear,
breaking parts, higher torque or force that may destroy the tool and its accessories or the part being worked on.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Use rated accessories recommended by FACOM only. Inspect accessories before use. Do not use cracked or damaged
accessories. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
• Ensure that sparks and debris resulting from use do not create a hazard.
• The pneumatic tool must be fitted and connected to the compressed air network via quick disconnects to facilitate shutdown in
the event of danger.
• When the life of the tool has expired, it is recommended that the tool be disassembled, degreased and parts be separated by
material so that they can be recycled.
• Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air supply hose before installing, removing or adjusting any accessory on this
tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool.
• Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and fittings. Do not abuse hoses or connectors.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
• Do not remove any labels. Periodically inspect labels to ensure all marking are still legible. Replace any damaged label.
• Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn the tool on or off.
• Do not lock, tape or wire the «on/off» trigger in the «on» position, as this trigger must be free to return to the «off»
position when released.
• Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and are tightly secured.
• The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler connected directly to the air inlet increases tool bulk and decreases tool
maneuverability.
• For maximum performance, the coupler on the wall should be the next size larger than the coupler used on the tool. The coupler
closest to the tool should not be less than the proper air supply hose size.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against the body is unstable and can lead to loss of control.
• When not in use, disconnect tool from air supply to prevent accidental or unauthorized use in the absence of the operator.
• Do not alter any part/component/accessory of this tool in any way.
• Mesh air strainer at air inlet occasionally becomes clogged with debris, blocking air supply, and decreasing the tool's
performance. If this occurs the mesh air strainer needs to to be cleaned.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Place the tool on the bolt or nut before starting the tool. Do not point or indulge in any horseplay with this tool.
• Do not store or use in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104 °F (40°C) (such as outside sheds or
metal buildings in summer). For best life store in a cool, dry location.
