WARNING
Manual conTains
• Place the tool on the work before starting the tool.
• Slipping, tripping and/or falling while operating air tools can
be a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of
excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
• Keep body working stance balanced and firm. Do not
overreach when operating the tool.
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion during
start up and operation of any power tool.
• Do not carry tool by the hose. Protect the hose from sharp
objects and heat.
• Tool shaft may continue to rotate briefly after throttle is
released. Avoid direct contact with accessories during and
after use. Gloves will reduce the risk of cuts or burns.
• Keep away from rotating end of tool. Do not wear jewelry or
loose clothing. Secure long hair. Scalping can occur if hair
is not kept away from tool and accessories. Choking can
occur if neckwear is not kept away from tool and
accessories.
• Use accessories recommended by Matco Tools.
• Impact wrenches are not torque control devices. Fasteners
with specific torque requirements must be checked with
suitable torque measuring devices after installation with an
impact wrench.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids
such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
• Do not force tool beyond its rated capacity.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace damaged labels.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is di r ect l y related to joint hard n ess, tool
speed, condition of socket and the time the tool is allowed to impact.
Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up. Every connection absorbs
energy and reduces power.
