5.3 INSTALLATION RELATED RISKS
Firmly install the reaction arm either to the existing structure or to specically made structure in the
workplace. Verify that the reaction arm support has a safety factor of minimum ve times the value
obtained by the sum of maximum sustained load plus the reaction arm weight.
Example of calculation:
Optimal Safety Factor = (Max support load + torque arm weight + tool weight ) x 5
The reaction arm will have to be xed through the pre-drilled wall attachment interface, as shown in
Pic. 7, page 8.
