Installation
Fixation of torque arm (horizontal installation)
●● The reaction arm should be always installed in front of the operator
(considering his preferred hand) (①)
●● Fix arm to workstation support through wall attachment with
appropriate screws (②).
●● Fix the power tool in the tool holder (③).
●● Always try to install the balancer as much in line with the point of
torque application as possible (④)
●● Adjust the balancer tension (⑤ as example only).

Installation
Fixation of reaction arm (vertical/ceiling position installation)
●● In case of ceiling installation, fixation point should be as much as possible
straight above the point of torque application (•).
●● Check that work field of the arm is free from obstacles.
●● Fix the arm through the pre-drilled holes on wall attachment (②)
●● Fix the power tool in the tool holder (③)
●● Adjust the balancer tension (④as example only).
●● Last, make a functional check over the whole work field.

Maintenance
Maintenance must be performed only from qualified personnel.
●● In advance of any intervention: disconnect the tool from power source.

Safety
This product is designed to fit power tools having the maximum torque equal or lower than those
indicated for each arm model. No other use is permitted. This device is intended only for
professional use.
General safety rules
In order to reduce risk of injuries, any person which should use, install, repair, make servicing,
install accessories and even works nearby this device should read and clearly understand this
manual in advance of making any kind of activity. Our target is to make torque reaction arms
which can increase work safety and efficiency. Please remember that USER is the most important
safety device for this product and related tools. In fact, user’s attention ad care to his work is a
fundamental contribute for injuries and damages prevention. Our torque reaction arms must be
installed by tined and qualified personnel. In case of doubt, we suggest contacting the reference
dealer or DELTA REGIS technical support.
For additional safety information, please check:
•Any other document and information included with this product.
•Your company management, union and/or category association.
•The “Safety Code for Portable Air Tools” (ANSIB186.1), which latest release can be found at
Global Engineering Documents, by accessing http://global.ihs.com/, or calling 1 800 854 7179. In
case of problems for fining ANSI regulation copies, it is possible to contact them directly, through
the site http://www.ansi.org/

• http://www.osha.gov (USA)
• http://europe.osha.eu.int (Europe)
Installation related risks
Firmly install the reaction arm either to the existing structure or to specifically made structure in
the workplace. Verify that the reaction arm support has a safety factor of minimum five 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 fixed through the pre-drilled wall attachment interface, as shown
in the Installation instructions.
When using an external balancer with the reaction arm:
•Verify that the balancer suspension support has a safety factor of minimum five times the value
obtained by the sum of maximum sustained load plus the balancer weight. Example of calculation:
Optimal Safety Factor = (Max support load + balancer weight + torque arm weight +
tool weight) x 5
•Install and fix an additional cable or chain to a separate support which is independent from those
supporting the balancer.
•Verify that suspension hooks, cable and chain do not show signs of wear. If so, replace the worn
parts before installation.
•Check that tool holder is firmly tightened before using the reaction arm.

10
Use related risks.
• Do not exceed the recommended load or torque capacity ranges indicated for the torque
arm model in use.
• Operators must be physically able to maneuver the torque arm. If you are unfamiliar with
the torque arm, adjust the tool to a low torque setting the first time you operate it.
• Daily verify the torque arm attachment and all structural parts for wear or cracks. Replace
the entire arm if extensive wear, damage or cracks are detected.
• Do not operate the torque arm if damaged or malfunctioning. Examine balancer
suspension hooks, cables, cable stops and chains daily for wear. Replace worn parts before
further use.
• Daily check that there are no loosen screws or nuts. Replace worn nuts or washers before
further use.
• Regularly perform a complete functionality check, including fully extending and retracting
the torque arm throughout its complete range of movements. In case high friction is
detected, check whether one or more tubes is deformed or damaged or look for presence of
any dust or deposits over the tubes. In case of tubes contamination, clean ad described
previously and try the functionality again. In case any tubes deformation is detected the
entire torque, arm must be replaced.
• This product and its accessories must not be modified .
Work area related risks
• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of excess hose left on the
walking or work surface.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of potential hazards created by your
work activity.
• Torque arms are not insulated from coming into contact with electric power sources and are not
intended for use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
