Product Specific Instructions
Installation
General Installation Safety
Refer installation to qualified personnel only.
Hang the tool securely, by for example using a balancer.
When using a suspension yoke, check that it is in good condi-
tion and correctly fastened.
Always connect the system to an earthed outlet. Always make
sure that the mains plug is disconnected and the controller is
turned off before connecting or disconnecting the tool cable.
Operation
General Operation Safety
• Due to entanglement risk, do not wear gloves.

• Be prepared of the reaction force which will occur
when the tool is used. Always support the tool's handle
securely in the direction opposite to the spindle rotation,
in order to reduce the effect of sudden torque reaction
during final tightening and initial loosening.
• Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be physi-
cally able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the
tool.
• If possible, use a suspension arm to absorb the reac-
tion torque. If that is not possible, side handles are
recommended for straight-case and pistol-grip tools;
reaction bars are recommended for angle nutrunners.
It is recommended to use a means to absorb the reaction
torque above 4 Nm (3 lbf.ft) for straight-case tools, above
10 Nm (7.5 lbf.ft) for pistol-grip tools, and above 60 Nm
(44 lbf.ft) for angle nutrunners.
• Serious injury can result from over-torqued or under-
torqued fasteners. Assemblies requiring a specific
torque must be checked using a torque meter. So-called
"click" torque wrenches do not check for potentially dan-
gerous over-torqued conditions. Over-torqued or under-
torqued fasteners can break, loosen or separate. Released
assemblies can become projectiles.
• Use only power or impact sockets in good condition.
Do not use hand sockets.
• When using a power tool, the operator may feel dis-
comfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of the body. Vary between appropriate postures
throughout the work day, maintain a secure footing and
avoid awkward or off-balance postures.
• Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and ex-
posure to vibration can be harmful to hands and
arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin
occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
• Take caution when operating in confined spaces. Be-
ware of crushing hands between tool and workpiece.
• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Use hearing protection as recommended by your em-
ployer or occupational health and safety regulations.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be
aware of potential hazards created by your work activity.
This tool is not insulated from coming into contact with
electric power sources.
• Avoid using tightening strategies in applications outside
their limitations.
• Major changes in joint characteristics will affect the oper-
ator reaction force.
• Consider that a joint failure or a tool error can cause sud-
den unexpected reaction force and possibly injure the op-
erator.
• Position the equipment so that the disconnecting device is
within easy reach.
