7. Safety instructions
RAD tools are developed for tightening and loosening threaded fasteners using very large 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.
RAD tools have been designed with safety in mind however, as with all tools you must observe all general
workshop safety practices, and specifically the following:
1. Before using your new tool, get familiar with all its accessories and how they work
2. Always wear safety goggles when the tool is in operation
3. Make sure the reaction arm is in contact with a solid contact point before you operate the tool
4. Make sure the reaction arm snap ring is securely in place to hold the reaction arm in place.
RAD tools are safe and reliable. Not following precautions and instructions outlined here can result in
injury to you and your fellow workers. RAD Torque Systems B.V. incorporated is not responsible for any
such injury.
