Foreseen Use Of Tool

The impact wrench is designed for the tightening and loosening of
threaded fasteners within the range as specified by the manufacturer. It
should only be used in conjunction with suitable impact type 1/2"
square female drive nut running sockets. Only use sockets which are of
the impact type.
It is allowed to use suitable extension bars, universal joints and socket
adaptors between the square output drive of the impact wrench and
the square female drive of the socket.
Do not use the tool for any other purpose than that specified without
consulting the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorised supplier.
To do so may be dangerous.
Never use an impact wrench as a hammer to dislodge or straighten
cross threaded fasteners. Never attempt to modify the tool for other
uses and never modify the tool for even its recommended use as a
nutrunner.

Work Stations

The tool should only be used as a handheld hand operated tool. It is
always recommended that the tool is used when standing on the solid
floor. It can be in other positions but before any such use, the operator
must be in a secure position having a firm grip and footing and be aware
that when loosening fasteners the tool can move quite quickly away
from the fastener being undone. An allowance must always be made
for this rearward movement so as to avoid the possibility of
hand/arm/body entrapment.
