Be aware of buried, hidden or other hazards in your
work environment. Do not contact or damage
cords, conduits, pipes or hoses that may contain
electrical wires, explosive gases or harmful liquids.
Keep others a safe distance from your work area, or
ensure they use appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment.
Keep hands, loose clothing, long hair and jewelry
away from working end of tool.
Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful
to your hands and arms. Stop using any tool if dis-
comfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Seek medi-
cal advice before resuming use.
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not over-
reach when operating this tool. Anticipate and be
alert for sudden changes in motion, reaction
torques, or forces during start up and operation.
Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their
motion after throttle is released.
To avoid accidental starting - ensure tool is in "off"
position before applying air pressure, avoid throttle
when carrying, and release throttle with loss of air.
Ensure work pieces are secure. Use clamps or vises
to hold work piece whenever possible.
The use of other than genuine Ingersoll-Rand replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance,
and increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warranties.
Repairs should be made only by authorized trained personnel. Consult your nearest Ingersoll-Rand Authorized Servicenter.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection
when operating or performing
maintenance on this tool.
Using the Tool (Continued)
Do not carry or drag the tool by the hose.
Do not use power tools when tired, or under the
influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Never use a damaged or malfunctioning tool or
accessory.
Do not modify the tool, safety devices, or accesso-
ries.
Do not use this tool for purposes other than those
recommended.
Use accessories recommended by Ingersoll-Rand.
Note the position of the reversing mechanism before
operating the tool so as to be aware of the direction
of rotation when operating the throttle.
Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not use
hand (chrome) sockets or accessories.
Periodically check the drive end of the tool to make
certain that the socket retainer functions correctly,
and that sockets and drive ends are not excessively
worn which may allow the socket to come off when
rotating.
Impact Wrenches are not torque wrenches. Con-
nections requiring specific torque must be checked
with a torque meter after fitting with an impact
wrench.
