COPPER EASE SAFETY INFORMATION
The Timberwolf TW 18/100G is subject to large vibrations during the normal course of operation.
Consequently there is always a possibility that nuts and bolts will work themselves loose. It is
important that periodic checks are made to ensure the security of all fasteners. Fasteners should be
tightened using a torque wrench to the required torque (see below). Uncalibrated torque wrenches
can be inaccurate by as much as 25%. It is therefore essential that a calibrated torque wrench
is used to achieve the tightening torques listed below.
