• Pay attention to reaction torques. Pay
attention to the occurence of reaction tor-
ques and a possible break of the tool. In
restricted spaces, reaction torques may lead
to injuries. Countermeasures have to be
taken against suddenly occuring reaction
torques.
• Do not use the tool in explosive atmos-
phere. Tools like air ratchets can produce
sparks that may ignite combustible materi-
als. Never operate tools in proximity to com-
bustible substances like petrol, naphtha,
detergents etc. Work in well-cleaned and
well-ventilated areas only. Keep combustible
materials out of the work area. Never use
oxygen, carbon dioxide or other bottled
gases to power pneumatic tools.
• Do not point the tool at any person. Keep
children and other persons out of the work
area when operating the tool.
• Do not let the tool rotate in no-load ope-
ration with a socket attached. Sockets
may loosen or break off and could be flung
throughout the work area hitting the user or
other persons.
• Disconnect air hose when changing insert
tools. Always disconnect the tool from the
air supply for oiling the tool or for changing
sockets etc.
• Pneumatic tools must not get in contact
with sources of electricity.
• Pay attention to the working pressure,
max. air pressure see table on page 9.
Exceeding the approved maximum pressure
will damage the pneumatic tool. The tool and
the accessories may cause damages and
serious injuries.
• Check tight fit of the air hose connec-
tions / do not use defective pressure
hoses. Uncontrollably moving pressure
hoses may cause severe injuries.
• Only disconnect pneumatic tools in an
unpressurized state. Uncontrollably moving
pressure hoses may cause severe injuries.
• Use clean and dry air only. Never use oxy-
gen, carbon dioxid or other bottled gases to
power pneumatic tools.
• Only use spare parts, attachments and
accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer.
Do not leave plugged-in pneumatic tools unattended.
Always wear personal protective clothing and safety equipment.
For Your Safety

ger on the operation trigger.
