pneumatic hose. Always switch the power supply off first and then depressurize the machine by
pressing the valve latch.
The maximum operating pressure (flow pressure) according to the technical specification
must not be exceeded. A pressure regulator has to be installed, which regulates the pressure
before it reaches the machine. Never direct a pneumatic hose at yourself or anyone else. Never
clean your clothes with compressed air. Direct cold air away from your hands. Do not pull or
carry the machine by the pneumatic hose. When using claw couplings make sure that they are
fitted with a suitable lock mechanism (e. g. lock pin) and a safety chain.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF OPERATING HAZARDS
Before starting work make sure that the hands are protected against:
impacts, crushing, hits, cuts, abrasions and heat. The operating and maintenance personnel
must be physically able to handle the bulk, the weight, the power and/or the torque of the
machine.
Do not use the machine if you have taken any medication or drugs, after drinking alcohol or
with any other constraints on your vision, reaction or judgment.
Work in the best possible position so that you can react with both hands to any normal or
unexpected movements of the machine. Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing
in order to avoid improper strain and to be able to support the reaction torque of the machine.
Additionally, consider the following:
• Operate the machine only after having carefully read the operation manual.
• Use impact wrenches only in combination with appropriate power sockets.
• Never use power sockets with worn out square drive. Prior to each application, check that the
square drive at the power socket and the square drive of the impact wrench is not worn out,
or if there are any fissures (cracks). Ensure that the power socket is properly seated on the
square drive before each startup.
• Before each startup, ensure that the reverse valve for rotation direction left and right is in
the correct position. Do not start the machine, unless the power socket is seated solidly and
correctly on the screw head or on the nut.
• Do not hold or guide the machine at the turning power socket.
• Consider enough space behind you when loosening screw connections, so that the operating
hand cannot be jammed.
• Use only extensions, adapters and joints, which are explicitly approved for the application
with impact wrenches.
• If the machine shows any signs of abnormal operation or performance, work must be stopped
instantly for maintenance and repair.
CAUTION – Loose clothing, personal jewellery (e.g. necklace), scarves/
ties, long hair or gloves can get caught up in the machine tool or accessories
and thus cause severe injuries (lack of breath by throttling, abrasions, skin
injuries and/ or cuts and lacerations)
