Power tools can cause flying particles during use.
• Wear safety goggles, user and bystanders.
Flying particles can cause injury.
Power tools generate noise.
• Wear hearing protection, user and bystanders.
Prolonged exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Power tools vibrate.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to vibration, repetitive
motions and uncomfortable positions.
• Stop using the tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain
occurs. Seek medical advice before resuming use.
• Do not use the tool if it vibrates too much, makes
unusual noises, has loose parts, or shows any other
signs of damage.
• If the tool malfunctions, discontinue use and
immediately arrange for service and repair.
Prolonged exposure to vibration, repetitive motions
and uncomfortable positions can cause injury.
Sudden changes in motion or position can occur while
using the tool.
• Anticipate and be alert for changes in motion during
start up and operation.
• Maintain a secure grip.
• Anticipate reaction force. Adjust your stance and hold
tool securely.
• Observe the position of the reverse mechanism before
operating the tool and be aware of rotation direction
when you press the trigger.
Sudden changes in motion or position can cause
injury.
Risk of entanglement.
• Keep body parts away from rotating parts.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Keep handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• Do not lock or tape the trigger in the ON position.
• Remove battery pack before changing accessories.
Entanglement can cause injury.
• Use only impact sockets and accessories with these
impact wrenches. Use of hand or power sockets will
cause premature failure of the socket and possible
injury to the user. Do not use chipped, cracked, or
damaged sockets or accessories.
ZCT9038CE Rev. C
• The CT9038 features a steel locking ring for retaining
the sockets. The ring holds the socket in place by
friction. It may be necessary to replace the ring
periodically should socket retention become less than
desired.
• Use only ball-joint flexible sockets. Use of square block
type flexible sockets can cause injury, as they are not
designed for impact use.
• When using extensions, hold the impact wrench so the
socket fits straight on the fastener.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
