General Safety

a) For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions before
installing, operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or
working near the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners. Failure to
do so can result in serious bodily injury.
b) Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust, or use the
assembly power tool for threaded fasteners.
c) Do not modify this assembly power tool for threaded fasteners.
Modifications can reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and
increase the risks to the operator.
d) Do not discard the safety instructions; give them to the operator.
e) Do not use the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners if it has
been damaged.
f) Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify that the ratings and
markings required by this part of ISO 11148 are legibly marked on
the tool. The employer/user should contact the manufacturer to obtain
replacement marking labels when necessary.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience
or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Projectile Hazards
a) Be aware that failure of the workpiece or accessories, or even of the
inserted tool itself, can generate high-velocity projectiles.
b) Always wear impact-resistant eye protection during the operation of
the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners. The grade of protection
required should be assessed for each use.
c) Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
Entanglement Hazards
a) Entanglement hazards can cause choking, scalping and/or lacerations
if loose clothing, personal jewellery, neckwear, hair or gloves are not
kept away from the tool and accessories.
b) Gloves can become entangled in the rotating drive, causing severed or
broken fingers.
c) Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions can easily entangle rubber-
coated or metal reinforced gloves.
d) Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with cut or frayed fingers.
e) Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.
f) Keep hands away from rotating drives.
Operating Hazards
a) Use of the tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards, including
crushing, impacts, cuts and abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to
protect hands.
b) Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to
handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
c) Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden
movements and have both hands available.
d) Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
e) In cases where the means to absorb the reaction torque are requested,
it is recommended to use a suspension arm wherever possible. If
that is not possible, side handles are recommended for straight-case
and pistol-grip tools. Reaction bars are recommended for angle
nutrunners. In any case, it is recommended to use a means to absorb
the reaction torque above 4Nm for straight tools, above 10Nm for
pistol-grip tools, and above 60Nm for angle nutrunners.
f) Release the start-and-stop device in the case of an interruption of the
energy supply.
g) Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.
h) Fingers can be crushed in open-ended crow-foot nutrunners.
i) Do not use in confined spaces and beware of crushing hands between
tool and workpiece, especially when unscrewing.
Air Impact Butterfly Wrench
Repetitive Motions Hazards
a) When using a power tool the operator can experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.
b) While using an assembly power tool for threaded fasteners, the
operator should adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure
footing and avoiding awkward or off-balanced postures. The operator
should change posture during extended tasks, which can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
c) If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning
sensations or stiffness, these warning signs should not be ignored.
The operator should tell the employer and consult a qualified health
professional.
Accessory Hazards
a) Disconnect the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners from the
energy supply before fitting or changing the inserted tool or accessory.
b) Do not touch sockets or accessories during impacting, as this increases
the risk of cuts, burns or vibration Injuries.
c) Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that
are recommended by the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners
manufacturer.
d) Use only impact-wrench-rated sockets in good condition, as poor
condition or hand sockets and accessories used with impact wrenches
can shatter and become a projectile.
Workplace Hazards
a) Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of
slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also of trip hazards
caused by the air line or hydraulic hose.
b) Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Hidden hazards, such as
electricity or other utility lines, can exist.
c) The assembly power tool for threaded fasteners is not intended for use
in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against
coming into contact with electric power.
d) Make sure there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., that can cause
a hazard if damaged by use of the tool.
Dust and Fume Hazards
a) Dust and fumes generated when using assembly power tools for
threaded fasteners can cause ill health (for example cancer, birth
defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk assessment and
implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
b) Risk assessment should include dust created by the use of the tool and
the potential for disturbing existing dust.
c) Direct the exhaust so as to minimise disturbance of dust in a dust-filled
environment.
d) Where dust or fumes are created, the priority should be to control them
at the point of emission.
e) All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or
suppression of airborne dust or fumes should be correctly used and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
f) Use respiratory protection in accordance with employer's instructions
and as required by occupational health and safety regulations.
Noise Hazards
a) Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing
loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or
humming in the ears). Therefore, risk assessment and implementation
of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
b) Appropriate controls to reduce the risk can include actions such as
damping materials to prevent workpieces from 'ringing'.
c) Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and
as required by occupational health and safety regulations.
d) Operate and maintain the assembly power tool for threaded fasteners
as recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in the noise level.
e) Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as
recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary
increase in noise.
