Safety Information
Tools used together with a reaction bar: Never put your
hand near or close to the reaction bar while the tool is being
used. Be aware of the rotational direction of the spindle be-
fore starting the tool, the reaction force may work in an unex-
pected direction with risk of crushing injuries.
Tools containing a clutch: Never use the product without
making sure the clutch releases. Immediately after adjusting
the clutch, check for correct operation.
WARNING Risk of Injury
Make sure that the correct parameter file is being used.
Wrong parameter file might cause too high torque with
bodily injury as a result.
Compare the maximum torque which is shown in the
►
controller, with the maximum torque stated in the
technical data of the tool, they should be the same.
General Instructions
The tool may only be used together with the associated torque
reaction bar, which is adapted to the screw joint application
concerned.
WARNING Crushing Hazard
Check the rotational direction of the tool before start! A
start in an unexpected rotational direction can cause bod-
ily injury or property damage. Moving parts can crush
and cut.
Make sure that the rotational direction of the tool is
►
correct before starting the tool.
Keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications provided with this prod-
uct.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire, property damage and/or serious in-
jury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark ar-
eas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
