Impact Wrench Safety Warnings - Makita 6904VH Instruction Manual

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
1.
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
2.
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
3.
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
6.
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
7.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work gloves
which may be entangled. The entanglement of cloth work
gloves in the moving parts may result in personal injury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.

Impact wrench safety warnings

1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear ear protectors.
2.
3. Check the impact socket carefully for wear,
cracks or damage before installation.
4. Hold the tool firmly.

6. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.

depending upon the kind or size of the bolt.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.
