11. Safety
Radial tools are developed for tightening and loosening threaded fasteners using very high forces. For
your safety and that of others, warning labels and attention labels are prominently attached to the torque
wrench and its accessories.
NOTE: Make sure you observe the directions on the warning labels at all times.
Radial tools have been designed with safety in mind however, as with all tools you must observe all
general workshop safety practices, and specically the following:
• Before using your new tool, get familiar with all its accessories and how they work
• Always wear safety goggles when the tool is in operation
• Make sure the reaction arm is in contact with a solid contact point before you operate the tool
• Keep your body parts clear of the reaction arm and the contact point
• Make sure the reaction arm retaining ring is securely in place to hold the reaction arm or blank in
place.
Radial tools are safe and reliable. Not following precautions and instructions outlined here can result in
injury to you and your fellow workers. Radial Torque Tools B.V. is not responsible for any such injury.
• For reversible models, note the position of the reversing mechanism before operating.
Knowledge of the direction of rotation helps in maintaining control of the tool.
• Use only bits, sockets and adapters which are in good condition and are intended for use with
power tools. Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not use hand (chrome) sockets or
accessories since the torque will cause them to break in use
• When a support handle, reaction bar or other means is provided to react torque, it should
be properly installed and used to minimize the hazard due to the reaction torque. Loss of tool
control and injury can result without its use.
• Use a securely fastened support handle or reaction arm on any tool when the torque or force
is not easily controlled by the operator. A reaction bar must be reacted against a secure xed
object. Loss of tool control and injury can result without its use.
• Keep clear of pinch point between reaction bar or support handles and any xed object in the
work area. Pinch hazard exists.
• When a suspension device is used, ensure that it is securely fastened. Failure to secure may
result in loss of control, unexpected motion, or dropping of the tool.
• Keep hands away from the rotating output spindle of the tube nut tool. A pinch point exists in this
area.
• Test tools with automatic shut o󰀨 after repair or replacement of parts. Verify that the device is
functioning properly.
• Calibrate tools with internal transducers after repair or replacement of parts. Verify that the
transducer is functioning properly.
• Periodically check the drive end of the tool to make certain that the socket retainer functions
correctly, and that sockets and drive ends are not excessively worn. Either condition may allow
the socket to come o󰀨 when rotating
• Exposed throttles shall not be used where obstructions can hold the throttle in the “on”
position. You may not be able to turn the tool o󰀨.
