3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE using the Impact Wrench read these safety instructions CAREFULLY and ensure you fully UNDERSTAND them. DO NOT allow untrained personnel to use the Wrench.

1. Wear suitable PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, safety boots, goggles, gloves and ear protection according to Company rules, working conditions or Government/State Legislation.
Use of gloves may help prevent injury by keeping hands warm and dry.
For maximum safety wear ear protection within a 16 metre (17 1/2 yards) distance of Wrench.

2. FILL the fuel tank carefully BEFORE starting the Wrench and avoid spillage. Use the Fuel Funnel provided and DO NOT fill or add oil while the Motor is running, if the tank is hot or close to any naked flames. Mix the quantity needed. Do not leave the mixture in the fuel tank or container for a prolonged period.

3. Use only IMPACT QUALITY Sockets and Accessories.
Using worn Sockets on a good Square Drive or good Sockets on a worn Square drive will increase vibration levels with resultant damage to both operator and Wrench. HAND Sockets must NEVER be used.

4. Use Rubber Rings and Steel Pins or other suitable retaining devices to retain the Socket or Accessory onto the Square Drive. DO NOT use twigs, wire, nails or plastic straps.

5. Check the Wrench for damage. Ensure fasteners are tight at all times. A poorly maintained Machine will be inefficient and produce extra noise and vibration.

6. Check pull cord is not frayed nor worn.

7. Know where the controls are and how to use them and be able to STOP the Wrench quickly in an emergency.

8. DO NOT wear hanging jewellery, ties or LOOSE or torn clothing when using equipment.

9. DO NOT operate the Wrench in a CONFINED area, where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) may collect.

10. Set the GEAR CONTROL in NEUTRAL before starting.

11. Take up a FIRM footing and maintain a balanced body position.

12. Switch OFF MOTOR BEFORE transporting the Wrench to another location.

13. Take CARE when LIFTING or carrying the Wrench - weight with fuel and excluding accessory 18.3 Kgs (40 1/3 lbs).

14. Remove FUEL FILLER CAP CAREFULLY as pressure can build up in the tank. This is very important in warm weather, if the Wrench has been left in an exposed area or after prolonged periods of use.

15. Always auger on one of the LOW torque settings and use a HIGH one for removing fasteners.
