GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work Area Safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
a. 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 the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed (grounded) surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed (grounded).
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry, pull, or unplug the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
RAD battery torque wrenches are reversible, non-impacting, torque controlled tightening tools and must
always be operated with the following:
• Fully charged battery.
• Impact sockets with locking pin and o-ring.
• Proper reaction arm with retaining ring.
NOTE:
These torque wrenches contain metal components that can be dangerous in hazardous
areas.

3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment and always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection used in
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to a
power source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power Tool Use and Care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. A power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Power tools must be properly maintained. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions, considering the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dierent from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
g. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
