Additional Safety Rules for screwdrivers
and wrenches
Entanglement hazards
• Keep away from rotating drive. Choking, scalping
and / or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, gloves,
jewellery, neck ware and hair are not kept away from
tool and accessories.
• Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with cut or
frayed fingers. 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.
• Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.
Operating hazards
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be physi-
cally able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the
tool.

• Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract nor-
mal or sudden movements. Have both hands available.
• Immediately after adjusting the clutch, check for cor-
rect operation.
• Do not use in a worn condition. The clutch may not op-
erate, resulting in sudden rotation of the tool handle.
• Always support the tool's handle securely, in the di-
rection opposite to the spindle rotation, to reduce the
effect of sudden torque reaction during final tighten-
ing and initial loosening.
• If possible, use a suspension arm to absorb the reac-
tion torque. If that is not possible, side handles are
recommended for straight-case and pistol-grip tools;
reaction bars are recommended for angle nutrun-
ners. In any case, it is recommended to use a means to
absorb the reaction torque above 4 Nm (3 lbf.ft) for
straight-case tools, above 10 Nm (7.5 lbf.ft) for pistol-
grip tools, and above 60 Nm (44 lbf.ft) for angle nutrun-
ners.
Projectile hazards
• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when involved with or near the operation, repair or
maintenance of the tool or changing accessories on
the tool.
• Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-re-
sistant eye and face protection. Even small projectiles
can injure eyes and cause blindness.
• Assemblies requiring a specific torque must be
checked using a torque meter. So-called "click" torque
wrenches do not check for potentially dangerous over-
torqued conditions. Serious injury can result from over-
torqued or under-torqued fasteners, which can break, or
loosen and separate. Released assemblies can become
projectiles.
• Do not use hand sockets. Use only power or impact
sockets in good condition.
• This tool and its accessories must not be modified in
any way.
Repetitive motion hazards
• When using a power tool to perform work-related ac-
tivities, the operator might experience discomfort in
the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of
the body.
• Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining se-
cure footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance
postures. Changing posture during extended tasks can
help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
• Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recur-
ring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling,
numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop using
the tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
Workplace hazards
• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or
death. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• Do not use in confined spaces. Beware of crushing
hands between tool and workpiece, especially when un-
screwing.
