3) ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR IMPACT WRENCHES
• Use only impact rated accessory sockets and extensions recommended by Mac Tools. Inspect accessories
before use. Do not use cracked or damaged accessories. Do not use chrome sockets , hand sockets or any
other accessories not rated for impact use.
• The tool's power is controlled by the pressure exerted on the trigger, firmly grip the tool and squeeze the
trigger to operate.
• Do not use sockets with excessive wear to the input or output drives. Periodically check the square drive
on the impact wrench. Make sure the socket, extension bar, or other attachment is securely fitted before
operating tool.
• When loosening fasteners first ensure that there is sufficient clearance behind the tool to avoid hand
entrapment. The tool will move away from the threaded joint as the nut/bolt is loosened and rides up the
thread, moving the tool with it. Make sure hands are kept away from the sockets during tool use.
• Securely fit the socket or attachment to the impact wrench. Inspect anvil and retaining ring of tool prior to
use. Missing or damaged items should be replaced before use.
• Ensure that the forward/reverse switch is in the correct position for tightening or loosening the fastener.
• The nut/bolt can then run down the thread using the power drive of the tool. For loosening a joint the tool
can be used in the reverse sequence.
• Recommended to use a hardened steel (or material with comparable shock resistance) threaded hose
fitting (Fig 5).
