5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and
understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during
use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the
floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good
natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a
negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to
rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Disconnect and house all power tools that are not in use. An air tool should never be left
unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location,
away locked up and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what
they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an
application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool
will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can
become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the
machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties
removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be
dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or
fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods
must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses.
Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are
some of the more common hazards and preventions; however, always find out what hazards are
associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment
available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine (if
possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if
possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the air line. If the
product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical
device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This
could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged
or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable; keep blades
sharp; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and emergency devices working.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then disconnect it from the air line
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the
tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to
set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they
have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before connecting any machine in to the air supply, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near the
switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate the switch.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power
tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you
are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to confirm to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure the tool remains
safe to use.
5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR AIR IMPACT WRENCHES
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 the impact wrench and a workpiece;
especially in confined spaces.
● There is a risk of loose clothing, hair etc., being caught in the rotating spindle of the power
supply tool;
● There is a risk of being injured if hands are not kept away from the impact sockets;
● There is a risk of danger to persons from high speed splinters being emitted from impact
wrenches in the case of impact 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;

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
– 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;
– Impact wrenches 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.
– Ensure the anvil ring is correctly maintained and if damaged or missing, is replaced
immediately before work commences. Missing or damaged anvil rings may lead to sockets
detaching from the wrench while rotating at high speed.
– 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.
– When starting or finishing the removal and installation of fasteners there is a risk of crushing
between the tool and the workpiece due to sudden movement or reaction forces.
5.3 RESIDUAL RISK
Warning!
● Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain
extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a
certain residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms.
Power tools must therefore always be operated with caution!
Carefully remove the product from the packaging and examine it for any sign of damage that may
have happened during shipping. Lay the contents out and check them against the parts shown
below. If any part is damaged or missing; please contact the Draper Helpline (the telephone
number appears on the Title page) and do not attempt to use the impact wrench.
The packaging material should be retained at least during the guarantee period: in case the impact
wrench needs to be returned for repair.

8. ASSEMBL Y
Warning!
● Failure to follow these instructions will lead to premature malfunction
of the equipment which is not covered by the guarantee.
8.1 AIR TOOL OIL SPECIFICATION
Air tool oil viscosity refers to it’s properties to flow and how it reacts with heat. A low viscosity is
thinner than a high viscosity.
Air tool oil becomes thinner as it heats so choosing the right viscosity is essential. If the viscosity is
too low it may provide insufficient lubrication when heated. Equally, if it is too high, the fluid may
provide excessive resistance to move through the lines when cold.
The ISO (International Standards Organisation) viscosity grading system measures the kinematic
viscosity in centistokes (cSt) at 40º which is todays accepted standard. The SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) viscosity grade value is based on a scale.
This equipment is suited to an ISO grade 22 – 32 (SAE grade 5W – 15W) monograde oil.
The oil must be constantly supplied to the equipment during use to ensure complete lubrication and
optimum performance is achieved. It also acts as a rust inhibitor when the equipment is not in use.
We recommend the use of Draper Air Tool Oil:
This air tool operates at a maximum pressure of 90psi and must be controlled via a combination
pressure regulator, in-line lubricator and moisture filter such as the Draper range (see you local Draper
stockist) which with proper maintenance will ensure a constant supply of dry air and lubricating oil at all
times (see illustration below). Always check machine operating pressure before use.
Water in the compressor tank will cause serious corrosion to your air tools and should be drained daily
to avoid excessive water in your air supply. Dirty wet air rapidly shortens the life of your air tool.
If you are using an air tool on a hose over 25ft long it is advisable to increase the bore of the hose to
the next larger size available, i.e., 1/4" increases 3b8". This will ensure adequate pressure and volume
of air to power the machine.
