d) Select, maintain and replace the consumable / accessory as recommended in the instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.
e) Where a silencer is available, ensure it is in place and in good working order when the tool is being operated.
f) Take steps to reduce noise in the work area where possible (e.g. by using damping mats).
Vibration Hazards
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Not all vibration hazards can be eliminated by tool design or construction, and some residual risks remain. Check the vibration-emission value (obtained using ISO 28927-3) shown in the specification table. Ensure the risk it represents is assessed and managed. If the risk cannot be managed so that it falls within acceptable limits, then do not use the tool.
Take the following steps to reduce risk of vibration-related injury:
- Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions. Keep hands warm and dry.

Before Use
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
EQ-4 - commonly used in Europe
EN-6 - mainly used in the UK
- Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using, and install as outlined below:
- Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector (2). This will help to maintain an airtight seal.
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
- Remove the protective plug from the air inlet.
- Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air inlet located at the base of the handle.
- Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors).
Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit to the tool
WARNING: Do not attach the tool to a hose and the hose to a compressor with only threaded connections. Always use quick connectors so the tool can be removed from the air supply connection when needed for safe operation.
WARNING: Never fit a female quick connector directly to the leader hose/whip hose or directly to the tool. The stored pressurised air in the tool, even when detached from the main air supply, can operate the tool unexpectedly.
Recommended air supply
This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator.
- Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see 'Specification').
- Ensure that water is drained from air system daily.
- Ensure all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air pressure to be used.
Setting tool power
- The tool speed/power can be adjusted by increasing or reducing the air supply pressure within the range specified in 'Specification'.
- Whilst working with the tool, speed adjustments can be made via the Speed Control Trigger (3).
Attaching sockets
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before attaching or removing sockets.
1. Push a suitable socket directly on to the 12 " Square Drive (4), until the retention ball engages and you hear a 'clicking' sound.
Note: Use the supplied adapter to connect sockets with ^3R^a square drive.
2. To remove, firmly grip the socket and pull it off the drive.
Select direction
- For clockwise drive rotation, turn the Forward/Reverse Switch (1) anticlockwise into the position marked 'F'.
- For anticlockwise drive rotation, turn the Forward/Reverse switch clockwise into the position marked 'R'.
Note: The terms 'forward' and 'reverse' refer to right hand threads.
Operation
WARNING: When there is resistance on the drive socket e.g. when the fastener is fully tightened, the driving force will transfer to the handle and attempt to twist it. Ensure there is sufficient space to avoid trapping your hand/arm which can result in serious injury.
1. Install the required socket, select the desired direction and connect the air ratchet to the air supply.
2. Place the impact socket over the fastener.
WARNING: Ensure that the socket has firmly engaged the fastener to be driven.
3. Press the Speed Control Trigger (3) against the body of the tool to start.
4. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
IMPORTANT:
- DO NOT allow the tool to run in 'idle rotation' for an extended period of time. This will shorten its life.
- DO NOT use any additional force on the tool to drive a nut or bolt. This may damage the tool.
- Depending on the exact air pressure, the torque delivered by this air ratchet may vary. Always use a calibrated torque wrench to torque your fasteners after driving with this tool.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.
Accessories
- Accessories for this tool including sockets, socket sets, extension bars etc. are available from your Silverline stockist. Spare parts can be obtained from your Silverline dealer or wwwquipmentsonline.com.
Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
Cleaning
- Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth.
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it should be noted that when an air tool fails to work it is generally because the internal workings have corroded due to dirty, wet air and failure to follow the instructions given below.
