5.3 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR AIR RATCHETS
Important: Draper Tools Limited recommends that this machine should not be modified or used
for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are unsure of its relative
applications do not hesitate to contact us in writing and we will advise you.
- Power tools shall not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres unless specifically designed
for that purpose;
- Unexpected tool movement due to reaction forces or breakage of inserted tool or reaction bar
may cause injuries;
- Power tools shall be isolated from the energy source before changing or adjusting the inserted
tool;
- Warning:
• There is a risk of crushing by torque between a reaction bar and the workpiece;
• There is a risk of loose clothing, hair etc., being caught in the rotating spindle of the tool;
• There is a risk of being injured if hands are not kept away from the reaction bar, specially
observed when unscrewing in confined work spaces;
• There is a risk of being injured if hands are not kept away from the nutrunner sockets;
• There is a risk of danger to persons from high speed splinters being emitted from impact
wrenches in the case of nutrunner socket failure.
• There is a risk of being injured by whipping air hoses.
- Unexpected direction of inserted tool movement can cause a hazardous situation;
- Use only sockets and adaptors which are in good condition and are intended for use with
power tools;
- Adopt a suitable posture to counteract normal or unexpected movement of the power tool due
to reaction forces from the power assembly tool;
- Release the start and stop device in the case of an interruption of the energy supply;
- Only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer shall be used;
- Release pressure when not in use. Disconnect from air line;
- Air ratchets are not torque wrenches and are not designed or capable of installing fasteners to
a specified torque. For fasteners requiring a specific torque, install the fastener to well below
the required value then complete the task with a hand torque wrench to avoid damaging the
fastener or workpiece.
- Only use accessories specifically hardened for impact use. Do not use standard chrome type
hand tool sockets as they will shatter and splinter causing injury.
- Do not modify this impact wrench in any way.
- Do not carry or move the tool by the air line.
